Eating or drinking broccoli can reverse type 2 diabetes. Sulforaphane is an anti-cancer compound in cruciferous vegetables.
Sulforaphane is highly concentrated in cruciferous vegetables and could be used in a concentrated broccoli extract.
It can be used for treatment of type 2 diabetes.
Researchers examined 97 obese patients, those given concentrated broccoli sprout found their fasting blood glucose levels fell dramatically compared to controls who received a placebo.
Sulforaphane induces an antioxidant response. It reduced glucose production by liver cells growing in culture, and shifted liver gene expression in diabetic rats.
