Eating 70 grammes of baby broccoli on a daily basis for two months may protect against a common stomach bug that is linked to gastritis, ulcers and even stomach cancer, a study in Japan claims.

 Fresh brocolli sprouts contain plenty of sulforaphane, a natural biochemical that appears to trigger the production of enzymes in the gut that protect against oxygen radicals, DNA-damaging chemicals, and inflammation. In an article published in the journal Cancer Prevention Research, scientists found that eating 70 grammes of baby brocolli daily may help stave off some serious health problems. More and more articles have set light about this subject matter in the past few days.
