Broccoli actually belongs to a group of extremely healthy
veggies called cruciferous plants. This
group also includes other kid favorites such as Brussels sprouts, cauliflower
and kale (was I a weird kid?).
Researchers from the Baylor School of Medicine recently
tested a highly concentrated compound found in these vegetables on human and
mouse cells being affected by leukemia.
Yes, that is leukemia as in CANCER!!
Upon observation they found the compounds in the veggies eradicated the
cancer cells! To read an excellent and
more in-depth overview of the research check out this link…
You know, of all the types of veggies cruciferous veggies
are the ones most people I meet say they just can’t eat. The only competitor that is even close is
onions! And yet here we are looking at
yet more highly credible research suggesting that FOOD is more powerful than
drugs and you can be darn sure it’s a ton safer to eat some cabbage than take
ANY drug out there. One of my favorite
supplements is actually a blend of concentrated Brussels sprouts and kale. I
guess I’ll be ordering an extra bottle of those this month! There are actually tasty ways to eat these
veggies too. My most recent post at http://cookingchiropractor.blogspot.com/
is a seasoning recipe for greens. It’s
good enough that kids eat it and some super picky grown-ups I know who usually
won’t think twice before skipping the vegetable at dinner will eat it and actually
take seconds so check it out and make sure to eat your veggies, especially the
broccoli!
