eat your broccoli (remember the helicobacter pylori thread??)

[Guest guest]

A study on sulforaphane (found in broccoli and broccoli sprouts) reported in

" Proceedings of the Nat'l Academy of Sciences " shows that the substance kills

" helicobacter pylori " which causes stomach ulcers and sometimes cancer. The

research was done on mice and on human cells in the laboratory, but not on

people, so it's not known how MUCH broccoli is needed, but further research

is planned.

Just thought y'all might like to know.
