Very good post backed up with scientific evidences in those published articles. I started eating broccoli like crazy about 3 years ago when it was clear to me that I would need to go for a major gynecological surgery (myomectomy including cystectomy). The issues I had were as a result of estrogen dominance. Brocolli helped me a lot to reduce bloating in my stomach, so much so that a girlfriend of mine noticed it and asked me what I was eating. I told her that every evening, for dinner, I was eating steamed broccoli with fish drizzled with a teaspoon of cold pressed hemp seed/olive oil. The indole-3-carbinol in broccoli is responsible for assisting the liver to clear excess estrogen. It's quite interesting to know from your post that broccoli also helps relieve arthritis. Well done, @justtryme90!!! Thank you for sharing.
