Orceyre highlights the fact that the green contains indole-3- carbinol, a nutrient that seems to play a role in how estrogen is metabolized in the body and may play a protective role against breast cancer.

Scientists believe about a cup of broccoli every other day could contain enough indole carbinol to prevent the growths.

This member of the cabbage family is rich in a little-known substance called indole carbinol, which breaks down estrogen, a hormone that seems to promote the development of certain breast tumors.

The thermal effects increase as one passes from primary to tertiary alcohols, the values deduced from propyl and isopropyl alcohols and trimethyl carbinol being:—primary = 45.08, secondary = 50.39, tertiary = 60.98.

It is a liquid, smelling like fusel oil and boiling at 108.4� C. Methyl ethyl carbinol, CH3�C2H5�CHOH, is the secondary alcohol derived from n-butane.
