Researchers in every corner of medical science have been searching for the “magic bullet” that can cure all disease with one shot.
That’s not really realistic, though. Or is it?
One vegetable has been proven to improve or cure not just high blood pressure but type 2 diabetes, arterial plaque buildup, several types of cancer, and pretty much all other modern diseases.
Parents have been preaching it for years: eat your vegetables if you want to grow up big and strong.
They’re right, though. Some vegetables were easy to eat when we were little- sweet potatoes, cooked carrots, and other sweet tubers with a smooth texture. But broccoli is one that people either really love or really hate.
Scientists have racked up thousands of studies, though, that give people incredible incentive to try to learn to love it.
Broccoli contains a chemical called glucosinolate, which produces a metabolite that is incredibly powerful at preventing (and even reversing) many diseases. The metabolite is called sulphoraphane.
Yes, the root word is Sulphur, and yes, it is the chemical responsible for the production of stinking, smelly gas after eating cruciferous vegetables like Brussels sprouts, arugula, cauliflower, and broccoli.
But broccoli has a higher concentration of sulphoraphane than any other sister vegetables, making it ounce-for-ounce the most powerful food at destroying disease.
Sulphoraphane’s super powers stem from its ability to increase insulin sensitivity, break down viruses, kill bacteria, and even destroy cancer stem cells. It has even been proven in human and animal studies to improve kidney function.
These benefits are especially important to people who suffer from metabolic disorders like:
– Type 2 diabetes
– High blood pressure
– High cholesterol
But how does it work so well?
What is the process? Sulphoraphane has been proven to be a key player in DNA-methylation. This process is critical as it is what “reminds” the body’s cells to not only do their jobs, but do them in the right way.
Disease processes are only effective if inflammation, stem cells, or some other attack is successful. Sulphoraphane mitigates their effectiveness in the DNA-methylation process.
What’s more, you don’t have to eat so much broccoli that you blow up your house with the first flatulence. You only need about 10 stems per week according to a study released in 2008 in the journal PLoS One. Spread out over a few servings per week, this small amount has even been shown to be effective at preventing prostate cancer from developing.

Great article on whole plant medicine and the healing power of brocolli. The best way to consume alot of brocolli quickly (ten stems or more per week) is by blending it into juice with other veggies. Caution to stabilize, balance and absorbe the higher concentration of sulphoraphane please eat it with whole grain organic rice.

Very interesting article, but doesn’t mention if the broccoli is to be eaten raw, cooked or steamed or in any particular way so it retains it’s health benefits!
Thanks for clarifying!

A very intersting article, but no mention of the way broccoli should be eaten – raw, steamed, cooked or any other way that retains it's healthy value.
Please clarify
Thx
Broccoli is one of many other plants out of God's pharmacy.Very interesting article.
well……this is of great interest to me…….because this article makes no mention of broccoli sprouts which are 4 day old sprouts which have over 10 times the nutrient value of mature broccoli…………In fact i think it way more than that but i cant remember but i know its heaps…………..do yourself a favour and eat 4 day broccoli sprouts………….I have them and will do from now on and then i will smash them up in the blender and make a smoothie.
What is considered a stem?
I juice beetz to controlled mine plus a bowl of reason Brian and a banana .every morning then 500 mg of .magnesium…Dr clyde
what's the best recipe for broccoli
Love broccoli raw/cooked.
The problem with much health info provided on this site is that a lot of information on amounts of food to consume, proper prep of food for best results and definitions of terms are not given or are incomplete or written assuming the reader knows the omitted points of information. Without the complete information, the tips are useless.
“Scientists have racked up thousands of studies, though, that give people incredible incentive to try to learn to love it.”
@Christian Goodman, can you please post a link to at least one such study?
From my own experience I eat my Brocolli blended with spinach and other green veggies like 1 or 2 stems of celery and 1/2 Green apple. It never touch the stove and I want to eat it, I let my water boil first, then trrn off the stove and throw my Brocolli in just for a few second then I’m ready to consume and enjoy ! Try ityou’ll love it
