Broccoli anti depression?
anagram 15 Feb 2013
I am very interested in longevity and have purchased > $200 in supplements to augment my thinking ability.
Despite my hours of research and money wasted many of the supplements I have only partially helped my thinking ability,
and none of the supplements I have used compare in terms of benefit to Broccoli.
Any other personal experiences with broccoli being the best "supplement"?

i ate broccoli a lot once and tested high for estrogen on a test. testosterone was completely abolished it seemed. i didnt feel bad or anything but definately not competetive or agressive i have noticed. anyway, it went back to normal after i stopped. i wouldnt recomend broccoli for men under the age of 50 and i think people who do recomend young male adults consume broccoli are quite irrensponsible in their advices. after all, broccoli in its high extract is cytotoxic, beyond just cancer, but any cells. not sure why people do not research more before giving harmful advices.
Could you provided some backup to your statement? All I could find was it's protective properties. I've been eating broccoli regularly foe years and daily for the past few months. Recent blood tests have shown to significant abnormalties including thyroid levels, test, est...

let me ask you, what is your reason for consuming it regularly anyway ? if you are young and healthy, you dont have a reason to. besides simple google research will demonstrate that only really potent highly concentrated extracts of broccoli are anti-cancerious in both prevention and perhaps maybe some healing. again, people are too ignorant and ignore this and just keep eating their broccoli as if thats any beneficial.

Scientists agree that Broccoli is health promoting and safe, however I personally believe it to be stress reducing as well.

why was i voted down because i shared my experience with it ?
If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say it was because you made a bunch of unsubstantiated statements that some people might view as misinformation, and you called people ignorant. (twice). It wasn't me... just my observations.

I have anger issues so I really need to eat my veggies, regardless of if they hurt you or not.

it didnt reduce any stress in me or anyone reporting on eating it. now thats misinformation !

I assume you must be eating broccoli on the regular? Have you tried substituting another superfood-y vegetable for it for a period to see if you'd get the same perceived benefit?

Now, when I used to take half a tab of finestride a day it was a different matter. That drug had immediate negative effects on both the strenght and frequency of my errections, which I must say dismayed me greatly. After going off finestride everything returned to normal (thankfully).
If dayly Broccolli is affecting my testerone levels I must say I haven't noticed it; the effect must be marginal at most, at least in my case.

its a common knowledge i thought that crussiferous vegetables are estrogenic. simple google search reveals it. and ill tell you it only has effect if you consume a lot regularly. just one or two a day is neither benefecial or negative in effect.

(Source: http://www.simplyshr...ting-foods.html) (it's not scientific source, I don't find the actual article right now)In a clinical study, indole-3-carbinol cut the largely female hormone estradiol in half for men. “Broccoli contains high levels of indoles, food compounds that help reduce bad estrogen,
And I really find that this is true - I feel more "manly" and arouse sexually faster, but it may be just a placebo (but in this case it is really good placebo )

Broccoli has proved to be very beneficial to fight cancer. this is the only thing i know about it..
in extremely high amounts in extract forms. it is said to be cytotoxic (any cell cancerious or not) but i guess people's ignorance reigns

A well balanced, low calorie diet is the smartest choice you can make.

DIM 3,3-diindolylmethane is present itself in Broccoli in addition to its Invivo and Invitro precursor Indole-3-carbinol.

Thank you for this, it will be pleasantly viewed
I have always liked feeling full after eating a meal with lots of broccoli, and clearly not only is it just filling. Interesting to see how it works at the CB2 levels and has a very high score for fullness.

However, I must say that I tried a DIM supplement a few weeks ago but had to stop it because it made me feel profoundly depressed.
