jillybean Broccoli is definitely good for you. It's just that it contains fiber which can sometimes make your stomach bloated. So it's a vegetable you may want to avoid a few hours before hitting the beach or stripping down.

OzzieOcean I was also shocked about the gum deal, but I have heard that before... so I guess if you hear it more than once from more than one person there has to be credibility. I do the stomach pulling in bit often during the day.
