Broccoli compound for Type 2?

[TiaG]

I’m a little bit skeptical for a few reasons.

1. Taking 100 times the dose that a normal person eats in a serving of broccoli to get a 10 percent reduction in BG levels doesn’t seem huge to me.
2. Can eating this really have so few side effects?
3. I’m not sure the explanation given in this article for why it affects obese, but not non-obese, T2Ds makes much sense.
   Still, an interesting finding:

Your conclusions seem so right.

Well presumably if they’re eating 100 servings of broccoli daily they’re offsetting the junk food and cake intake at least somewhat

except it’s an extract so it’s probably a pill for both control and intervention groups That would be a funny experimental study though – requiring people to eat 100 plates of broccoli. I wonder what the dropout rate would be.

Can you imagine the broccoli farts…
