The wondrous effect broccoli can have on cancer cells has been in the news frequently these past years; now scientists have determined that, in vitro at least, a substance in the vegetable called sulforophane has anti-inflammatory activity, controllling the cox-2 enzyme .
Remember though, as is often the case, excessive heat destroys the compound. Crushing the broccoli seems to have the most effect, so juicing it is good.
Consider also the Sulforophane supplement called BROCCOMAX: one of those a day contains 30 mg of SGS (sulforophane glucosinolate)
