We should all munch on broccoli sprouts. Apparently, it protects our stomach from the germ responsible for many cases of gastritis, ulcers and stomach cancers.

A new study shows that eating 2 1/2 ounces of three-day-old broccoli sprouts every day for at least two months may offer at least some protection against the bacterium Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), one of the most common bacterial infections in the world.

Broccoli sprouts are much higher than mature broccoli heads in delivering a biochemical called sulforaphane, which has previously been shown to have potentially anticancer effects. The compound appears to work by triggering the body, especially the gastrointestinal tract, to produce enzymes that protect against damage-causing CHEMICALS and inflammation.


Broccoli's wonders never stops...from sprouts to mature heads. We should all be eating broccoli everyday!
