Broccoli controls blood sugar

Published by larrymagid at 1:55 am under Uncategorized

An article at RealAge.com argues that greens, including broccoli, helps control blood sugar thanks to a compound calls sulforaphane.

The article explains how chornically high blood sugar can damage organs and how “adding sulforaphane to a mix of blood vessel cells and glucose cut oxidation (read damage) by as much as 73 percent.” Of course more research is needed to see if it actually makes humans healthier but — given that we already know that broccoli is good for us, we may as well add it to our diets.
