All the parents that urged their children to eat because it was healthy were right. Broccoli contains the mustard oil, sulforaphane, that can also be found in kale and Brussels sprouts. Sulforaphane causes the body to make an enzyme that attack cancer-causing carcinogens, this enzyme also speeds up the work of the kidneys so they can flush the harmful chemicals out of the body; other vegetables have similar benefits, but not like broccoli or other leafy vegetables. Thus wise people eat broccoli, it could save their lives.
