Researchers at the Diabetes Center have shown that something as accessible as broccoli can be a great help in controlling glucose and type 2 diabetes without causing side effects.

Sulforaphane, a natural compound found in broccoli, has indicated that in large quantities, it could become a therapeutic alternative against diabetes.

There are millions of people who suffer from this disease. A worrisome reality, but even more so when we know that 15% of these patients can not benefit from the first line of treatment (metformin drug) because it causes side effects.

The key is sulforaphane, that is, the natural compound found in broccoli and other vegetables such as cauliflower.

Metformin and sulforaphane have different mechanisms of action, and while both reduce the level of glucose in the blood, the drug does so by making the cells more sensitive to insulin, while the broccoli compound does so by suppressing the Hepatic enzymes.
