An article published in Johns Hopkins Magazine shares interesting information on a variety of broccoli sprout studies. These include reports of life extension in worms and the ability to boost the effectiveness of disease-preventing human proteins.

Broccoli sprouts have gained a lot of attention in the past several years. However, the director of the Laboratory for Molecular Pharmacology at Johns Hopkins Paul Talalay believes that many plants contain disease-fighting substances and recommends that people consume a wide variety of vegetables and fruits to achieve maximum disease-fighting power.
