Researchers from Texas A&M University suggest that breastfeeding mothers should include cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, and kale in their diet to transfer vital nutrients to their children. A new study highlights the transmission of sulforaphane (SFN), a phytochemical in these vegetables, through breast milk. SFN is known for its potential protective effects against cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. This pioneering research, which measured SFN levels in the breast milk of mothers who consumed these vegetables, underscores the health benefits of a nutrient-rich diet for nursing mothers.
