    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on various facts related to phytochemicals, herbs, and nutrients. Researchers recently reported that broccoli sprouts, a rich source of isothiocyanates (ITCs) might be able to help prevent bladder cancer. Only a few studies have investigated the role of flavonols in cancer, but none of the studies has included pancreatic cancer, which is usually fatal.
