How broccoli can reduce risk of a heart attack

When I first read and used Laurel's Kitchen -- the flagship of 1980s vegetarian cooking, I remember marveling at the distinction made in the book between ordinary vegetables, and what the authors termed "super vegetables." Broccoli, that star of both taste and nutrition, was one of those "super vegetables."

Not surprisingly, we're discovering more benefits of this wonderful vegetable. I'm not a big fan of those who think that their kitchen cabinets are pharmacy shelves. Eating is for nutrition and fun and fellowship and a whole lot of things. But it's good to remember that some things -- such as broccoli really do deliver both great taste and nutrients that your body needs. Here's an article about what it can do for your heart.
