You can “turn off” aggressive breast cancer genes and make tumors treatable by eating Brussel sprouts and drinking green tea, according to new study

Epigenetics is a new science that is being used to fight cancer. Researchers out of Alabama are using Epigenetics, studying what turns off genes, to battle an aggressive form of breast cancer. The study team found that compounds commonly found in Brussels sprouts as well as green tea when used together, can stop tumor cells from forming while making already formed rumors easier to treat. This study just adds to the known healthy benefits of these foods.

Key Takeaways:

• Er-negative cancer tumors are more aggressive then Er-positve tumors
• approximately 40,610 women will die from Er-negative breast cancer, according to the estimates of the American Cancer Society
• the two compounds combined sulforaphane found in Brussel sprouts, and polyphenols found in green tea transformed aggressive breast cancer tumors into more treatable tumors in a recent study.

“Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women next to lung cancer, and the chance of a woman dying from this cancer is about 2.7 percent or one in 37 women.”
