She’s Chopping Broccoli…Broc Block SPF 50!

(OK, am I the only person who remembers that SNL skit with Dana Carvey on the piano?) So, I ran across this headline about broccoli helping to prevent skin cancer and it just is a real oddly written article with a bunch of great quotes too good to pass up.
For example:
“We don’t want people covering their bodies with broccoli and going to the beach. They will have no protection whatsoever.”
Tell me you didn’t just get a great mental image there!
And then this quote standing all alone by itself in the article:
“One expert was excited by the discovery.”
Um…just the one then? OK.
If you want the techno-talk on the compound they identified, look here. Basically, this has got a long way to go so I’m not sure why it’s even a news story yet. For now, the basic news is….are you ready…wait for it….eat your broccoli!
Stunning, I know.
While noodling around for other interesting broc info, I came across this blog with a fantastic picture of some odd broccoli. Enjoy!
That’s silly … who would cover their body with broccoli? No one would ever do that. No, I prefer covering my body with rutabagas to protect it from the sun when I’m at the beach. That’s the stuff that really works.
