Try to get at least 20 grams of cruciferous veggies in a day, for a likely 20% reduction in colon cancer risk.

Broccoli sprouts are best for that.

Cooking broccoli can destroy the enzyme myrosinase, which is essential for forming sulforaphane, a compound that has cancer-fighting properties. To retain its health benefits, it’s best to steam broccoli for a short time or use techniques like chopping and waiting before cooking.

I have been known to eat broccoli raw-——in salads.

A long time ago I heard that broccoli is a natural “sweeper” of your entire digestive system. Love broccoli.

Broccoli is great raw or steamed.
Boiled, not so much.
Just depends on how you fix it.
