(Washington, Reuters Health, 5/28/02)

Scientists from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and the French National Scientific Research Center, found that a substance associated with broccoli's distinctive flavor may kill the bacteria that has been implicated in stomach cancer and ulcers. Jed Fahey, a plant physiologist from Johns Hopkins University, sees "significant public health implications" for this food, which may kill the Helicobacter Pylori bacteria without the harmful side effects of antibiotics.
