Besides being rich in fiber and vitamin C, radishes contain a group of beneficial phytochemicals called isothiocyanates, which can switch off cancer-causing genes, such as those responsible for converting pro-carcinogens into active carcinogens. At the same time, isothiocyanates can favorably switch on detoxification (which help clear carcinogens in your body) as well as tumor-suppressor genes, which tell cancer cells to stop dividing and under go apoptosis (normal death of cells).
