I feel vindicated!
See, I've been feeding my brood a steady stream of broccoli until they nearly scream in protest. Turns out, I was helping the kids' peptic ulcers and helping to prevent stomach cancer.
The April issue of the Cancer Prevention Research reported that Johns Hopkins reserchers found that broccoli helps eliminate the the germ -- Helicobacter pylori -- in the same manner as antibiotics. But broccoli sure is more tasty.
Caveat: It was a relatively small study (50 people infected with the germ, half given broccoli, half alfalfa as a placebo.)
