Scientists have discovered that the plant, Isatis tinctoria, is a rich source of an anti-tumour compound glucobrassicin (GBS) which is also found in broccoli and Brussels sprouts, and is believed to be especially active against breast cancer. To be precise it is spelt isatis tinctoria, but in early printing the letters I, H, J and Y were often applied phonetically, for instance hyacinths were often called jacinth. |
