Broccoli fan? As a vegetable, broccoli is one of the healthiest foods imaginable, with many cancer specialists who are familiar with natural cure alternatives stating that the vegetable is one potent beast. Just don't boil it.According to researchers in Britain, boiling broccoli actually destroys many of the anti-caner properties of broccoli. Alternative preparation methods would include stir frying, steaming or microwaving. I'm no fan of microwaving )even though it is extremely convenient, but love steaming and stir frying.
The research showed that boiling appeared to have a serious impact on glucosinolate analyte within broccoli and other vegetables like cauliflower. that, right there, lowers the effectiveness of anti-cancer properties (according to the report). While it's preferable to eat vegetables fresh and raw -- to maximize any anti-cancer benefits -- this simply is not possible in many cases. But, if you believe in this research, it may be the best way to consume some of those daily vegetables.
