Re: cruciferous vegetable (broccoli, brussel sprouts) component PREVENTS brain mets,
I've heard that children/infants will reach for the food that they need (if they are short of certain vitamin/mineral/fiber, they will reach for the food that contains it.)
Wondered if that's why I've been eating a lot of broccoli and cauliflowers lately...
