How do you feel after eating brocoli? (Proven ASD treatment)

Post Reply New Topic

There's a lot of good science about the benefits of eating broccoli for autistics. I've certainly noticed an improvement in my ability to process emotions and socialize after regularly eating it.

I hadn't even heard of broccoli's aspergers benefits until I was a month into eating it and at that point I'd already felt the improvements for ages, so the placebo effect is pretty much completely out of the question.

Has anyone else had any experience with this, positive or negative? I'm interested to hear how it's affected you lot.

Where is all this good science?

You raise a valid point. I wrote that knackered at 5am.

Regardless, I've definitely noticed huge benefits that I'm extremely happy with.

Atleast it's a good source of fiber...

I've eaten broccoli all my life, I doubt it has made any difference.

I feel like a giant eating little trees.

I like greens, I don't notice my autistic turbulence being lessened by my decent diet, I am not good when I am hungry but who the hell is, our bodies are fighting every minute to be serviced adequately enough to perform. I especially like broccotree because it actually looks like a pile of infant trees and not just torn off leaf litter, it's hardcore!

Yes, it is plausible.

I like brocolli very much. Very flexible, delicious, very healthy, and it looks good, what more do you want, he?

How do I feel after eating brocolli. Well, it turns me into a brocolli beast after an hour or so. Joking ofcourse.

Interesting, thanks for your responses.

The autistics that showed improvements in the study also reported the fever effect (when a fever helps social ability, hyperactivity and repetitive behaviour) and they only account for a relatively small part of the asd population, so perhaps I'm one of them.

All the best.

All the best to you, too.

I eat a ton of broccoli but I'd never heard this before. Good to know!

I enjoy broccoli too, what's the proven treatment? Steam it? I sometimes have spam with it.

Can't go wrong with spam. I love broccoli with chicken slices and a tasteful seasoning of natural salt.
They used a gelcap full of broccoli extract, but to clarify again for anyone reading, I didn't realise there was only a small study - more tests are actually needed to clinically prove it so don't be misled by the title.

I remember reading there were more studies from big pharmaceuticals trying to cash in on the idea, but can't seem to find any actual documentation online, only the mentioning on less than reputable websites.

Either way, I'm loving what the future may hold. Whatever peoples beliefs on autisics seeking treatment to conform, we're all unified in our difficulties in this life, and I'd hope we can collectively get excited for those of us who feel we need a helping hand.
Cheers.

Title says proven asd treatment, but you say it's from dodgy web sites, with no links I take it? doesn't sound proven in any way.

Today is not April first.

Broccoli is good food, and fiber. But give us a break. It aint gonna make you NT.

Unless maybe you smoke it in a pipe!
