If you are a woman, you should be concerned about breast cancer. If you are a man, you should be concerned about prostate cancer. And if you are concerned about either breast cancer or prostate cancer, you should know that eating cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli and cabbage, is really good for you. Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) is a phytonutrient that occurs naturally in certain cruciferous vegetables, appearing to affect estrogen metabolism in ways that might help prevent breast cancer and prostate cancer
