If the result of the current study carried out by a team led by Chun-Loong Ho, Ph.D., and associate professor Matthew Chang, Ph.D. of the the National University of Singapore (NUS) is anything to go by, then we are about to say goodbye to Colorectal cancer (CRC), also known as bowel cancer and colon cancer.

According to these scientist, they have developed a genetically engineered probiotics gut-bacteria (bacteria that are found living in the stomach or intestine of humans and animals) that can transform certain substances found occurring naturally in vegetable (broccoli and Brussel to be precise) into a powerful anti-cancer chemical agent that can prevent or stop CRC

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the abnormal growth of cells that has the capacity to spread and invade to other parts of the body. It is usually due to old age and certain lifestyle such as smoking, obesity and lack of physical activities.

The symptoms is usually weight loss, blood in the stool and tiredness at all time. Colon cancer is the third most common type of cancer known and it is less common in women than men

In their study they tested a combination of genetically engineered bacteria from broccoli extract that almost prevented the growth of CRC in animal and human cells without causing any harm on the normal body cells.
*So therefore eating vegetables might just be another way of living free of cancer…. *
