Hi, I have heard that raw broccoli contains a poison not unlike that Seveso poison.

What is true about that?

Where can I read information on broccoli and thyroid? Have any studies been done on this?

How can we find out our nutritional type without having to fly to Chicago?

There is a great way to add raw broccoli to your food:

Grate the florets thinly into your usual salad (or into your cooked vegetables). You will hardly notice they're there. I add to my salads lots of olive oil and some soft avocado - together with grated broccoli this makes a delicious meal. Sometimes I add hard boiled or soft boiled eggs, or instead of salad I may use young spinach leaves.

I am a protein type too but adding avocado and /or eggs makes my vegetables bearable. Grated broccoli makes them super healthy. And if you eat it raw, you don't have to eat a lot of it.

What really reverse diabetes is cactus-leafs (nopales). Clean about two leafs (scrub off the needles) and cut into pieces, then in your juicer. It takes a little time to juice the leafs. It is going to come out thick and darkgreen. Let the glass of juice stand for about 10 min. It will separate into a light green juice (at the bottom). Scoop off the top (darkgreen) and drink the the lightgreen juice. It will give you an instant result. Test your sugar level before and then after, and then you'll see for yourself. I don't have diabetes, but many of my friends have it. One of my friend had 500 or above. After one drink and 5 min. it dropped to 130. Do this religously for 30 days and you'll reverse your diabetes!

I'm a protein type and seem to do well on broccoli. Meat tends to push the body toward acidity, so it doesn't make sense to me that pairing broccoli with a piece of meat wouldn't be a good balance.

I heard something about broccoli sprouts also curing stomach ulcers. What a wonderful time we live in!

Just goes to show that the bounty the land has to offer leads to good health. We will be just fine if the powers that be would stop lying to us give us the truth, stop polluting our farmland, or turning it into Wal-Mart Stores. We have enough housing, and shopping, areas, but what we really need is more good fertile organic farmland. The Good Earth, good for what ailes you.

here is a Gordon Ramsey recipe that may not sound good but one has to try it. (i loved it)

2 heads broc. cut florets and some stem

place in 2.5 qts. boiling water with 1 T salt (i used 1/2) cover and cook for 3-5 min. (i did 2-3). Put broc. in blender with 1/2 cooking liquid. (add more for desired consistency) Blend, serve over brown rice and drizzle with a little evoo. (i left out the oil but did add a little cayenne) Simple but really tasty.

My son makes it at night and warms it in a.m. and throws it in a thermos for lunch--healthy stuff !!

john's hopkins has patented the ingredient from broccli and it is now in pill form. a company in florida, xymogen, makes it and calls it oncoplex. would like to know if anyone else is familiar with this product.

Both raw and cooked broccoli will work according to the study.

However, your best bet is to eat broccoli sprouts which have a much greater content. I think they taste better too.

I got a load of goodies to prevent reactive oxygen species, especially where hair loss is concerned.

Reports like this can be very confusing. I am a protein type, but I have some home-grown broccoli sprouts every day. My book on blood type O eating says I should have plenty to red meat protein, take kelp (bladderwrack) to improve thyroid function, and avoid cauliflower, wheat, corn and most dairy products. I make my own yogurt but can't get raw milk here in Michigan unless I buy a share in a cow. I just came across a Prevention article (March 2008) about beneficial "resistant starch" found in bananas and COLD cooked potatoes, corn, and rice. I've started eating Ezekiel bread and adding cinnamon to things. Should I just let myself go crazy? People think I look good for my age (69) but just this week two people we know dropped dead from sudden heart attacks.

I cringe when I see statements indicating what element of the food they think is responsible for a health affect. It's nice to know which compound does what (gives universities lots of work), however it always leads to a pill.

We've heard a lot about Sulforaphane lately, but let's not make the same mistake we made with beta-carotene. Let's just eat broccolli.
