Cancer
Cancer cells/ bacteria are the most common diseases that Cruciferous vegetables can kill. . The most common types of cancers that cruciferous vegetables can prevent are stomach, colon cancer and prostate cancer. There are many different forms of cancer. Their symptom is growth of cells and tissues, which differ in various aspects from the surrounding tissue. Cancers occur in all living things. All living things share similar DNA and RNA blueprints and cell composition. Therefore, methods for cancer treatment are similar.

What is Cancer?
Cancer can strike almost any living thing. Human beings can get over 200 types of cancer, and each kind is really a different type of disease. Cancer cells are very similar to cells of the organism from which they originated and have similar (but not identical) DNA and RNA. This is the reason why cancer cells are not very often detected by the immune system, in particular if it is weakened. Cancer cells usually have an increased ability to divide rapidly and their number of divisions is not limited by telomeres on DNA (a counter system to limit number of divisions to 40-60). Telomeres are sections of DNA occurring at the ends of a chromosome. This can lead to the formation of large masses of tissue and in turn may lead to disruption of bodily functions due to destruction of organs or vital structures.
