There may not be a single vegetable or fruit that is unhealthy for you. Though there are always some pros and cons (especially when considering specific situations), these nearly-perfect foods are natural whole solutions for better health.

While most people recognize blueberries, garlic, and kale as a few of these “superfoods”, broccoli sprouts have earned their place at the top as well.

 

Numerous studies have linked a compound found within broccoli, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts to a wide variety of health benefits. The compound, sulforaphane, has been shown to fight cancer, arthritis, and heart disease. And while it’s found in these cruciferous vegetables, it’s most concentrated in broccoli sprouts.

In a recent discovery by University of Iowa researchers, it was found that the lethal effects of staphylococcal infective endocarditis, a bacterial infection which can cause the heart valves to stop working properly and kills approximately 20,000 Americans every year is really due to superantigens –toxins produced in very large quantities by Staphylococcus aureus (staph) bacteria. These bacterial toxins cause the immune system to break down and in the process lead to a debilitating and possibly fatal heart disease along with a host of other health concerns.
