Brassica vegetables such as broccoli have also been linked to a lower risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Cell pollutants

In the latest study, a team from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine found significantly lower activity of the NRF2 gene in smokers with advanced COPD.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is often caused by smoking and kills about 30,000 UK residents a year.
