Broccoli officially good for you, research finds

[paulham]

Diabetes sufferers could benefit from eating broccoli, new research has found.

The BBC reports that scientists at the University of Warwick have shown the vegetable can help problems caused by high blood sugar.

Broccoli contains sulforaphane, which was tested on damaged blood vessels and found to reduce the effects of hyperglycaemia.

According to Professor Paul Thornalley, lead researcher on the project, the study "suggests that compounds such as sulforaphane from broccoli may help counter processes linked to the development of vascular disease in diabetes".

He added that he expects future tests to show that eating such vegetables would have health benefits for those already suffering from the disease.
