So, is there such a thing as too much broccoli?

A good way to find out would be to measure your blood-ketones and see how it affects you.

As long as I cooked the broccoli in something for a bit, it does not give me any gas issues. Dave Asprey from Bulletproof mentions something about oxilates or something that needs to be cooked out to avoid stomach issues.

Yes. I’ve heard Asprey say that too. However I’ve also heard Rhonda Patrick and others mention
that the sulforaphane content is better preserved uncooked.
I do both without any issues.
The response likely varies between individuals.
I’m a bit sceptical about oxolates being an issue unless we’re talking huge quantities.
I will admit not having looked into it other than trying for myself and my family and following some other people like Rhonda.

But again. You are the N=1 of interest. Try it out and see what you tolerate :slight_smile:
