4. Broccoli
Broccoli is on every “good for you” list, isn’t it? Well, that probably because it is! Broccoli is high in antioxidants that protect you from those health damaging free radicals that damage the DNA of your cells and cause severe health problems, such as cancer. This green veggie works with the enzymes in your liver to bind to toxins and help remove them from your body.
Broccoli is known for its powerful compound called sulforaphane, which prevents allergies, diabetes, allergies, and osteoporosis. Sulforaphane has an important place in the detoxification of your body. Broccoli contains another compound called glucoraphanin, which is known to have a protective effect on the stomach lining and protect the stomach from ulcers and the destructive bacteria Helicobacter pylori. This study was listed in the 2009 journal Cancer Prevention Research.
The phytochemicals in broccoli are released when we chew, chop, and digest broccoli, so try to eat this veggie as raw as possible. Lightly steam it if you must cook it, but don’t microwave it, as this destroys the detox and most of its nutritional compounds.

There is bacon out now with no artificial ingredients or nitrates. I’m starting to wonder about the research that goes into some of these articles.
