Scientists have developed a special variety of one vegetable that can help fight type 2 diabetes as well as other age-related diseases such as cancer and obesity. The vegetable is called Beneforte, and it is a special form of broccoli that provides elevated levels of a nutrient called glucoraphanin, which in turn is converted into another potent component you may know about already.
What is so special about this broccoli?
If broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables (e.g., cabbage, cauliflower, kale, boy choy, radishes, mustard greens) are not a regular part of your diet, then it may be time to rethink your menu. All of these foods have been identified as possessing powerful anti-cancer and antioxidant characteristics, which are mainly associated with levels of a nutrient called sulforaphane.
