Thanks so much everyone for your replies and concern. I still haven't had a chance to get my blood taken. (I promise I'll make time soon). I have only eaten three small amounts of broccoli this week, I'm weaning myself off it I wouldn't want to see an anti-broccoli hate wave come out of this thread, but yes, I guess we should all try to be a bit more imaginative with our vegetables. And actually, now that I'm looking at them, my ankles are much better!
