Can broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables—Brussels sprouts, cauliflower and cabbage—help protect smokers from cancer? A new study presents promising research.

According to researchers led by Roswell Park Cancer Institute’s Li Tang, it appears that people who currently smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day—or previously were heavy smokers—get special cancer protection from eating these healthy veggies. In the study, those who had seldom—or never—eaten cruciferous vegetables were 20 to 55 percent more likely to have cancer than those who regularly included the vegetables in their diets.

But the researchers were quick to point out that if you continue to smoke, or smoke too long, then there is nothing to help you prevent cancer and other diseases. So, take it from me—just quit!
