Can too much broccoli become dangerous?
Broccoli contains a lot of vitamin K which has something to do with blood coagulation. Does this mean that eating too much broccoli could lead to blood clots?
I like broccoli and I could eat it every day but I'm a bit concerned about vitamin K.

Vitamin K clots your blood in the event you cut yourself so you don't bleed endlessly.
You can have to much of anything. You can drink too much water. However you would start puking before overdosing on broccoli.Last edited by 1quick1; 10-26-2006 at 04:24 AM.

How about harming others. After is has processed. This is assuming that he is eating other healthy foods as well. Like eggs and whey. That is a deadly combo. I feel sorry for the other people he lives withOriginally Posted by matthor

I am pretty sure you cannot overdose on vitamin K by eating broccoli.

I've never heard of anyone dying from broccoli overdose.
But like everyone says, "too much of anything can kill you"
You'll most likely die from insanity of broccoli before the brocolli kills you.

If I got to choose how I died, death by broccoli would be it.

I always buy this frozen broccoli which you simply put into hot water. It's great. This stuff rules. I can easily eat 350gr broccoli every day, but it's also not very much. It sounds much but it really isn't much.

Broccoli rules. I just have to find out wether you can eat too much. I would like to eat it every day but maybe this could really become a problem.

The "blood coagulation" is actually the main reason I try to eat as much broccoli as I can. Back when I started on fish oil, I began to bruise easily due to thinner blood; broccoli was the answer.Originally Posted by rudolphBroccoli contains a lot of vitamin K which has something to do with blood coagulation.

Perhaps the opposite would work for you...worried about "thick" blood from too much broccoli, take more fish oil.

Sorry to dredge up this old azz thread but was wondering what the verdict was. I have like a pound of broccoli steamed with three diff meals a day. Such good stuff. Though I think I need to diversify my veggies a bit. Suggestions on other greens?

Sure... how much are we talking? I can see having something like 30+ cups in a week might actually have its cons but I dare anyone to tell me that they eat even half of that.

Brocolli + beans + steak and eggs = death by noxious fumes.
If you need me, I'll be under 460+ pounds. If you find me on the floor, please get the weight off of me.

Shut up and eat!
