Hutchie0109, it isn't proven at all pal. The title of this thread was an error of judgement I made from reading articles late at night. This has been established. However, there's been one small study that shows promising results. It's from the Massachusetts General Hospital for Children, the University of Massachusetts and John Hopkins University School of Medicine.

Naturalplastic, yep, It absolutely isn't going to make you NT. There's a possibility it could have a positive effect on symptoms if the results found in the small study work on a larger scale. Smoking it in a pipe sounds freaking sweet though.

Do you or does anyone have a link to this about broccoli, or any other foods for that matter? I've had a love hate relationship with broccoli myself, but I love it in curries.

I found a bottle of UK made broccoli sprout extract on Amazon. It might be worth a try. The Holland & Barrett Greens supplement also contains broccoli.

I practically don't eat any broccoli, and close to no non-meat products for that matter either, save for chocolate and crisps.

I plan on revamping my diet this coming month. It can be my new year's resolution come early.

I was pescetarian at one point, but even then I was eating fish for more or less every meal.

Personally, I like asparagus better to help with the Asperger's.

Whether it helps with ASD symptoms or not, I doubt eating broccoli has even caused anyone any harm.

It's a good source of fiber, and covers a wide range of different vitamins, so all in all it's a great addition to any diet. :)


I'm not sure what broccoli has to with ASD, but I have eaten it in large enough quantities that it lowered my iodine levels and made me hypothyroid. If you cook it until it wilts, then you don't need to worry about that.

Broccoli has something called suloraphane in it, which supposely help with Asd and scitzophenia(as well as a bunch of good things, llike preventing certain types of cancers). Google Suloraphane

The other day, I bought an 800 ml of fresh squeezed green juice with broccoli as the main ingredient. It was tasty, and probably the most efficient way to consume that much broccoli, especially because it's raw then it probably has even more of the nutrients intact. Now I need a juicer.

Actually if I remember correctly, broccoli is one of those vegetables which are healthier after being cooked(slightly), because it releases certain minerals at a certain heat. It's better to steam or stir fry though, boiling will likely do more harm than good.

This is the dumbest thing I've heard yet. Yet another load of male-bovine-dropping filled pseudoscience, even if it's not as bad as drinking bleach.

Probably variety is good, I'm also making broccoli a regular player in Thai curries, which I make a lot of. Soup might be good too, though I need to Google recipes, it's not something I'm crazy about unless it has flavor. Juicing seems sensible though, it's almost as good as putting it in a pipe and smoking it!

I had broccoli recently for the first time in years. I did feel different, but I'm not sure if it was in a good way. I think it gave me a slight headache actually.

Possibly the oddest thread I've posted on. I eat lots of broccoli. It makes no difference at all to how I feel. I can see no mechanism by which it, or any other food, would make a difference.

It's sulphoraphane that's the treatment, and broccoli just happens to contain it. I'd imagine one would either have to take a sulphoraphane supplement, or eat an indescribably large quantity of broccoli, for it to make a difference.

When I used to live with my parents, my mum would serve up broccoli for dinner nearly every day. Maybe it was too much fibre. But my bowels didn't like it at all. I was going to uni at the time and my stomach used to growl audibly in class, letting me know what was in store for me. As soon as I'd get home I'd rush to the toilet.

Now I'm in charge of my dinners, I rarely have the problem.

Possible ASD benefits came from Broccoli extract only; that is the extract under consideration is extracted from an amount of Broccoli greater than what a person would consume in a lifetime!

Broccoli in moderation is well-known to be beneficial to healthty diets.

I haven't really noticed a difference, but I haven't been looking for it, either. I just had some in my eggs + cheese last night. I've been buying big bags of it frozen, lately, and steaming it in the microwave. I'm not a big fan of it raw.

But like others said, the study probably used extract supplements.
