The studies I review show that Broccoli contains molecules that help protect the lining of intestines (in animal models). We all have heard that cruciferous vegetables (e.g. cabbage, Brussel sprouts, broccoli), should be part of diet, but what happens in the body? Well, one study completed on mice showed that when NOT eating the equivalent of 3.5 cups of broccoli per day, it decreased the amount of protective mucous in their intestines. Remember, intestinal compromise has been associated with disease. So eat your broccoli!

The native Indian diet was Guts and Grease - not waffles and skim milk! When their diet changed to processed, store bought foods, health deteriorated rapidly.
