There’s another reason to add some broccoli to your diet. Scientists have found a link between delicious broccoli and prostate cancer. Don’t worry, it’s a positive link.

22 men in Eastern England were given 400 grams of either broccoli or peas a week in addition to their normal diet for a year.

The small addition of broccoli showed some promise of reducing the risk of developing prostate cancer. Since other fruits and vegetables have also shown to reduce prostate cancer risk, further studies are required to confirm this. Still, it’s a small win for broccoli.
