How much of the greens to eat?

The promotion of health by a diet that is rich in Brassica vegetables, including its association with a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease (52, 130, 189, 276) and a lower incidence in a wide variety of cancer types, including breast, lung, prostate, and colorectal cancer, has been extensively reported in the literature (75, 129, 205, 285, 288). A diet of three to five servings per week is sufficient to decrease the risk of cancer development by ∼30%–40%

Of note, Bosetti et al. conducted an integrated series of case-control studies on various malignancies in order to assess cancer incidence and cruciferous vegetable consumption (24). It was found that subjects who consumed at least one portion of cruciferous vegetables per week as compared with those with no or occasional consumption were associated with a significantly reduced risk of oral cavity and pharynx, esophageal, colorectal, breast, and kidney cancer.
