Week 5 - Broccoli

I am neutral on broccoli, I prefer cauliflower and cabbage to broccoli. It is so classically western that these scientists need to understand how these things work on a molecular level before they are able to confirm that we may be able to help prevent cancer with the things we eat. This focus on the small parts of the whole often lead to "side-effects" and improperly prescribed medications. Instead of telling people to eat more vegetables, we can now take a pill that isolates the DNA repair genes. Who is to say that these pills will have the same effect as eating the food itself? As Heather suggested, I too would like to see the studies comparing organic to non-organic broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower.
