Indole-3-carbinol found in cabbage if you combination with genistein enhance gastrointestinal health thus reducing the risk of colon cancer, according to the study of "A combination of indol-3-carbinol and genistein synergistically induces apoptosis in human colon cancer HT-29 cells by inhibiting Akt phosphorylation and progression of autophagy" by Nakamura Y, Yogosawa S, Izutani Y, Watanabe H, Otsuji E, Sakai T.(8)
