Eating
more raw cruciferous vegetables can significantly
slash the risk of bladder cancer, according to new
research from Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo,
NY. The researchers collected dietary data from 275
hospital-based bladder cancer patients and 825 cancer-free
people, and found that those who consumed the highest
consumption of raw cruciferous vegetables had a 36
percent reduction in bladder cancer risk. Protective
effects were also observed among current smokers
with an intake of three or more servings of raw cruciferous
vegetables per month associated with a 54 percent
reduction.
The anti-cancer properties of cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli and cauliflower, are not new and previous studies have related these benefits to the high levels of active plant chemicals called glucosinolates, which are metabolized by the body to form powerful anti-carcinogens.

Christina
Sendall first learned about the harsh reality of
animals raised for food in high school, but didn't
think she had the discipline to adopt a cruelty-free
diet. Now 25 years old, Christina has made an incredible
journey of compassion with her family. Through much
encouragement and support from her husband, she
decided to try veganism while he transitioned to
vegetarianism. And it wasn’t long before their
eldest daughter jumped on board. Suddenly Christina
felt empowered and the changes weren’t stopping
there!
About twice a year Christina distributes literature at her college campus and talks to students about the many of benefits of veganism. Whenever she’s invited to a party or one of her stepdaughters' school functions, she always prepares a tasty vegan treat or dish to share.
Since becoming vegan and making compassionate changes with her family, Christina says “So far everyone has been pleasantly surprised and our home has been a more peaceful place. I have noticed an increase in my overall energy levels and in simply how I feel. I used to feel sort of weighted down and sluggish, whereas now I feel invigorated and energized. I also feel good mentally, my memory has improved and I dare say my study skills have improved too! I just overall feel great and am so happy to live a nearly cruelty-free lifestyle.”
