• Watercress is a cruciferous vegetable and population studies associate an increased intake of cruciferous vegetables with reduced risk of cancers at several sites.


• Daily consumption of watercress resulted in a significant decrease in lymphocyte (white blood cell) DNA damage. DNA damage is an important event in cancer development.


• Watercress is a rich source of the glucosinolate derivatives phenylethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) and methysulphinylakyl isothiocyanates (MEITCs), which show a range of anti-cancer activities.


• Beneficial effects on the three key stages of carcinogenesis (initiation, proliferation and metastasis) were observed in a study involving watercress extract and colon cancer cells.


• When smokers ate watercress with each meal for 3 days, the activation of key carcinogen (cancer causing agent) in tobacco was inhibited.


• An in vitro study involving breast cancer cells found that the addition of a watercress extract inhibited their invasive potential.


• A study investigating the effects of a diet supplemented with PEITC in mice grafted with human prostate tumours resulted in a 50% reduction in tumour weight.


• Watercress is a good source of key nutrients and carotenoids, such as lutein and beta-carotene, associated with the maintenance of eye and skin health. Daily consumption of watercress increased plasma lutein levels by 100% and beta-carotene levels by 33%.


• Daily watercress consumption has been shown to decrease plasma triglyceride levels by about 10%.
