The study has found that broccoli contains a phytochemical named sulforaphane that can hold the key to slash the glucose level in Type II Diabetics.

Type 2 diabetes is a progressive condition in which the body is not able to use the hormone insulin and gradually loses the capacity to make it ultimately resulting in high blood glucose levels. This causes a build-up of sugar in the blood and for obese patients; their excess body fat makes it harder for the liver and muscle tissue to absorb this excess blood glucose. At present, type 2 diabetes affects more than 300 million people worldwide and makes up 90 percent of all diabetes cases.
