Compound in BROCCOLI is found to Protect Against Cancer

Broccoli has long been hailed as a superfood, and it could soon protect people from cancer of the mouth, throat, neck and head, a study claims.

Scientists are developing a new treatment known as 'green chemoprevention' in which broccoli and other vegetables are used to prevent the disease.

They explained that cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage and garden cress have a high concentration of sulforaphane – which is why they have a slightly bitter taste.

The Applying of Eyeliner to the inside of the Eyelid can Cause Infections, Doctors warn

Eye doctors researchers from the the University of Waterloo, Canada warned against the use of eyeliner that can cause infection to the eyes.

Eye doctors often see patients coming into clinics with eyeliner residue stuck to contact lenses  - or trapped in the coating over their eyes called the tear film, said study leader Alison Ng, of the University of Waterloo, Canada.


The waxes and pigments in makeup may bind to contact lenses, reducing vision quality and potentially even causing blurred vision.
Experts warn build-up of make-up on contact lenses can also irritate the eye.


Applying liner close to the eye also means the eyeliner can become seeded with bacteria.


Dr Ng added this is the first research to show that particles from pencil eyeliner move into the eye. 'We wanted to look at how differently eyeliner migrated into the tear film when applied in two different ways: inside the lash line and outside of the lash line,' she said.

‘Try holding this throughout the day for as much as you can.
