I’d prefer brain damage.
Well, one molecule of brocolli is all some folks will eat.
With enough cheese on it, broccoli can fix ANYTHING

I sure couldn’t perceive any benefit of sulphoraphane after consuming a bottle of the supplement (Not all at once!).
But Lion’s Mane mushroom (Hericium erinaceus), which stimulates nerve growth factor, has an easily perceptible effect on me (improved memory retrieval) after a couple weeks of daily doses.
But Poppy Bush lived to 93 without eating broccoli...
Sulforaphane is also a precursor of the antioxidant Glutathione, which is necessary to avoid oxidative stress from COVID-19. People prefer to take NAC to boost their Glutathione levels, but Sulforaphane will work, too, to a lesser degree.
It is also an NRF2 activator, which manages the antioxidant production of the immune system.

“...other cruciferous vegetables (i.e., cauliflower)...”
Brussel sprouts and cabbage are as well.
I tell people that broccoli smells and tastes like rotten garbage to me and am dismissed. But it has a rotten egg smelling compound in it with sulphur. So I was right all along. I guess lots of people just love the taste of rotten garbage.
Don’t forget the queso. Broc & Cheese is the best.

Why are these miracle substances always in veggies like broccoli and Brussels sprouts? Why aren’t they ever in chocolate cheese cake or bacon?
Broccoli can be delicious if it’s covered with home made hollandaise sauce or if the sprouts are added to a smoothie (for vegans).
Wonder if it also has beneficial effects on peripheral neuropathy, though.
Anybody know?
I love broccoli. Steam it and put a little lemon butter on it. Or a nice sauce I like from Trader Joe: Soyaki.

I love broccoli. If I eat it for a week strait, raw, or not overly cooked, I notice a definite difference in my skin. Why I don’t eat it much is beyond me?
Thanks for this post- I’m going to add some of the sources of additional info that I just found-
