Tomato/Broccoli mix may reduce prostate cancer   [if you are a rat!]

    BEIJING, July 16 (Xinhuanet) -- A new study shows that eating broccoli
and tomatoes together may offer better protection against prostate cancer
than eating either vegetable alone.

    Researchers say their study, done with rats, supports the idea that
supplements alone will not work to prevent cancer, even they appear to have
enormous cancer-fighting potential. CRIENGLISH.com reported Friday.

    All the rats were injected with human prostate tumors. The rats
developed tumors, but in those given dried broccoli or dried tomatoes the
tumors grew more slowly and stayed smaller than in those given the drug
used to reduce the benign growth of the prostate.

    The rats given both broccoli and tomato had the smallest tumors.
