Too Much of a Good Thing?
If broccoli sprouts are so cheap and effective, why not eat bowls of them? A formal safety analysis found no significant adverse effects to about one and a half cups a day,22 but we didnât have data on a potential upper limit until a team of Italian researchers tried to push the envelope. They were attempting to come up with an intravenous infusion dose to use as chemotherapy, and so they wanted to know how high they could go. The researchers discovered that blood levels achieved by four or more cups of broccoli sprouts may indeed be detrimental.23 They concluded, however, that no harm was found at ânutritionally attainable concentrations.â But thatâs not really true. Broccoli sprouts do have a radishy bite, but someone could theoretically eat four cups of sprouts a day. (They donât know health nuts like I know some health nuts.)
Let me tell you a story. A few years ago, someone came up to me after a lecture in Miami and told me he had heard that wheatgrass juice was good for you. âIt cleans you out,â he had read. So he thought, Why not? and decided to stuff himself with it. He told me how he calculated the volume of the human digestive tract (all ten yards or so) and proceeded to drink that amount continuously, quart after quart, until it started coming out the other end. Intrigued, I asked him what happened. He looked up at me with an expression that I can only describe as rapturous and said, âIt was volcanic.â
