Well that’s no good for me because I don’t eat broccoli.

I’ve always had a problem eating certain vegetables, broccoli being one. I’ve come to enjoy steamed broccoli. I simply fork a piece, and much like a chimp using a stick to dig for grubs, I then use the forked piece as a pseudo fork to scoop up mashed potatoes. Delicious. I can eat anything covered by potatoes, butter and sour cream.

Not eating brocolli results in not having to eat something that smells faintly of garbage.

Eating broccoli for osteoarthritis is like using high octane gasoline to cure your bad shocks on your car.

Broccoli is my favorite vegetable. And practically the only one I eat....I don’t think spuds count. At restaurants I order it steamed. Broccoli is supposed to be the miracle veggie according to various sources. We’ll see...after eating a lot of it the past decade, I still can’t dunk a basketball.

I love broccoli,but it has done nothing to prevent arthritis in my hands,though just maybe it would have been worse if I wasn’t eating broccol at all.
I guess I’ll never know.I do know this though,It sucks getting older.

I would no more trust the Brits research on arthritis as I would trust their climate data. Mythology is more the Brits specialty.

I'll suffer. Unless of course this results in some kind of pill with a broccoli extract that treats it...

"Ancient Romans had a love affair with broccoli dating back to BC. The son of Roman Emperor Tiberius was so infatuated with broccoli that he forsook all other foods except broccoli ala Apicius (with a mixture of cumin, coriander seeds, chopped onion, oil and sun-made wine) for an entire month. Legend has it ,his broccoli binge turned his urine bright green, making him a standout among all the gladiators."
