Eating broccoli or cabbage would limit the severity of skin allergies, indicates a study presented by Inserm. In this study published in the English-language scientific journal eLife, researchers from the National Institute for Health and Medical Research (Inserm) and the Institut Curie first showed that the absence in the diet of compounds found in certain vegetables, particularly broccoli and cabbage, might aggravate skin allergies in animal models.
In their work, the scientists were specifically interested in food compounds that act on a molecule present in the body, called the “aromatic hydrocarbon receptor” (AhR). These nutrients are naturally present in cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli. They showed that the absence of these nutrients in mice was associated with an increase in the state of inflammation in the skin and an aggravation of the skin allergy, which was not the case for mice having received a diet containing these compounds.
