A new study shows that gut bacteria in the lower intestine can help release sulforaphane, the active ingredient in broccoli that has a protective effect effect against prostate cancer.
Just 3 to 5 servings per week of broccoli have measurable anti cancer affects.
Eat your broccoli :-)

Totally. I have been eating tons of broccoli since about February of this year, and I can attest to the benefits. I actually can "feel" when I need to eat more of it. Broccoli is the new spinach! But either way, eat both! :-)
