We all know veggies are good for us - especially raw.

If you haven't checked this out yet it will make you a believer:

I admit I need to eat more veggies, but I always loqathed the taste of brocoli(and other green veggies). Is there a way to make them more tasteful (for me)? I literally have to force them down me and dressings dont help @ all. also in my area(I live in the inner city and dont own a car) all that is around me are convenieence stores and if they have any produce its past its prime. That brings up another issue, having quality grocery stores in the inner city, close to pubic transportation. The government should really do something about that.

Most vegetables are good for most people, but anyone who would decide to eat only one vegetable should choose broccoli -- it's THAT GOOD all around. While it may be true that sprouts have much more of one good thing, I can't imagine eating sprouts on a regular basis, but you can have your broccoli steamed, sauteed, battered & deep-fried (okay, maybe not the healthiest way on a regular basis), and even raw with a dip as a snack, and I probably forgot a couple ways. Oh, yeah, w/ Hollendaise sauce... In veggie lasagna... Cheese & broccoli casserole (au gratin)... The list goes on...

I just made myself hungry. I'm going to go have some broccoli, now...

If you are hooked on broccoli, make sure you dont eat it raw. Raw broccoli contains caffeic acid.which inflames 8 internal organs allowing easy entry for the cancer nucleus, to start a malignancy. So one can safely state that raw broccoli enhances the pathway for a tumor. Same reference as my other comment.

If I am not mistaken, aren't these isothiocyanates also the same chemicals that inhibit thyroid hormone production?? This is good if you have Grave's Disease, but it is not so good if you have Hashimoto's disease. Also, even mild cooking temperatures destroy isothiocyanates-- so you should probably eat these veggies raw. Are these also the same chemicals that makes soy a bad thing to eat?? I may also be wrong, but the quantity and quality of isothiocyanates are very inconsistent, depending upon the soil in which the vegetable was grown-- near the coasts yield the lowest amounts of these chemicals-- Scotty/Sioux City

I have long looked for benefits relating to wasabi - the green stuff that is usually served with sushi/shashimi... I understand that almost all wasabi provided in America is prepared from horseradish which according to the article also contains isothiocyanate... Yet another enjoyable way to be healthy... Pass the wasabi, please...

I don't mind the taste of broccoli for the most part. But how can a person eat it if it causes gas that leads to abdominal pain. Intestinal gas is not fun... it is painful and embarrassing. That's why my father won't eat it or cucumbers.

Why fight it, when you can cure it? Science has moved ahead, and the broccoli story is now obsolete. Read and learn The Cure and Prevention of All cancers, 2007, H R Clark PhD ND, and step across the threshhold into a new paradigm..

I like broccoli too, and eat it most days. I especially love broccoli soup - another way to get enough broc. If you grow your own, add plenty of the leaves. This adds lots of flavour and gives it 'body'. I puree it, and add some coconut cream - delicious!

The word "Heal" has to be said with great caution these days. As soon as anyone uses words like "heal" or "cures" your subjecting yourself to possible litigation by the FDA since they have stated that ONLY a drug can heal or cure, despite the fact that no drug has ever healed or cured anything.

It's SO INSANE now that even if you say that "water cures thirst" you can be arrested for practicing medicine without a license because the water has no been "magically" transformed into a drug and your now prescribing medicine without a license!!.. The whole FDA is already on too much of their own drugs for sure. But someone in Mercola's position has to be very careful about the wording in his articles.

I bought a 4-ounce bottle of broccoli seeds for sprouting at my local health food store for $5.59 after they ordered a supply from the NOW company, Bloomingdale, IL 60108. I keep three or four starts going in succession in little clay flowerpot trays which I moisten with filtered water and add the seeds to a paper towel and spray all. I enclose it in a sandwich baggie and put it in the dark to germinate, then take it out to the light to finish growing to eating size. I add a tray a day to something -- nice and tasty. (I'm a protein type so I don't overdo it.)

Another misleading headline.
If this was a credible article it would have been titled "How Brocolli Heals Cancer."
This is the whole problem, by encouraging us to fight an illness we set up a win - lose attitude, and this is not a good way to start ones recovery.
I have seen many say they are fighting cancer, there's no way known they will give in and so on. Guess what? They lost !
