Broccoli May Help Boost The Aging Immune System

Or it just might kill you. (No, I am not anti-broccoli. I am anti-unreliable "information" = noise.)

"Eat your broccoli! That's the advice from UCLA researchers who have found that a chemical in broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables may hold a key to restoring the body's immunity, which declines as we age.

Published in this week's online edition of the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, the study findings show that sulforaphane, a chemical in broccoli, switches on a set of antioxidant genes and enzymes in specific immune cells, which then combat the injurious effects of molecules known as free radicals that can damage cells and lead to disease."

There's that antioxidant link, again, which remains uncertain as to its killer potential in your life.

Simply put, they do not know of what they speak.

There are good reasons to eat certain foods that are proven and do not require a belief system.

Don't fall for the hype. Fall for what works.
