Stomach cancer is less likely to occur among individuals on high cruciferous vegetable diet.

This study clarified the relationship between fondness for cruciferous vegetables and the odds of being diagnosed with stomach cancer. Researchers examined 292 individuals with stomach cancer and 1,168 persons with no history of cancer with regards to their diets. 

Researchers observed that devout consumption of cruciferous vegetables, including raw broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts, conferred individuals with adequate protection against stomach cancer. The data from this study show that upping the intake of cruciferous vegetables may help hinder the development of stomach cancer.
