Cruciferous vegetables, but broccoli in particular, make for anti-cancer powerhouses thanks in part to a compound called sulforaphane that actually helps the body fight the spread of tumors. Recent research revealed the underlying reason: sulforaphane may inhibit an enzyme, called an HDAC, that <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/29/broccoli-cancer-sulforaphane_n_1310634.html">works to suppress the body's tumor fighting ability</a>, as we've previously reported. And sprouts are even more potent: three-day old broccoli sprouts have 20 to 50 times the sulforaphanes as mature broccoli, <a href="http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/press/1997/sept/970903.htm">according to Johns Hopkins research</a>.

But beat-up grown men with bad backs and aching knees, many of whom have kids and don't even catch a break when they get home from work? Not quite the same.

Good for them, I live in BC Canada and we have just had the annual Cops for Cancer cycle ride from one end of Vancouver Island to the other. This is all for kids with cancer. Every school has sooooo many TEACHERS and KIDS that get sponsored to be on camera having their heads shaved for this amazing charity event.

It seems every week there is something for charity on the news and we are less than 1M people. My family has been affected my adult and child cancer so I say good on him and I hope lots more do the same.
