Cancer team make 'super-broccoli'
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? NO! It's super broccoli!
Scientists are developing a "super-broccoli" which they hope will help people ward off cancer.
Broccoli has anti-cancer properties but an Institute of Food Research study has found some people's genetic make-up may minimise the protection they get.
IFR scientists say creating broccoli containing more of the key chemical - sulforaphane - may counter this effect.
They hope it will be ready in three years but recommend eating lots of different green vegetables until then.
