Cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts and cabbage are fabulous for your liver's health. THESE vegies contain phytochemicals called glucosinolates, which help the liver produce the healthy enzymes needed for cleaning the blood of harmful toxins. THE protective components of these vegetables also stimulate the liver to transform the tumour-promoting forms of oestrogen to weaker and safer types, reducing the risk of both breast and cervical cancer. New research suggests that EATING asparagus helps liver cells produce 70 per cent fewer damaging free-radicals when exposed to alcohol (it is thought this works by doubling the activity of two alcohol-detoxifying enzymes).
