These types of veggies include radishes, broccoli, rutabagas, cauliflower, turnips, cabbage, bok choy, Brussel sprouts, collard greens, kale, watercress, and more.

Dark colored fruits and vegetables are all a good source of indole-3-carbinol. This is a natural compound that improves the DNA repair in the body’s cells while it blocks the growth of cancerous cells. Researchers at Ohio State University did a study that showed that anthocyanins, the substance that give cabbage their purple color, cut the growth of colon cancer cells in by 50 to 100 percent in tests done in vitro and in rats.
