British scientists at the East University have found that broccoli contains a substance which can prevent osteoarthritis. This substance is called sulforaphane and is able to block the enzyme that is responsible for progressive deterioration of the joints cartilage.

This is a type of arthritis and is characterized by cartilage destruction and permanent loss of one or more joints.
