Answer:

False.

Research shows that broccoli contains vitamins C, A, B6, and E; it also contains folate and a wide range of natural compounds that contribute to the prevention of heart diseases, diabetes, and cancer, amongst others.

Step-by-step explanation:

Numerous recent studies have shown that broccoli is one of the vegetables that contain a great range of nutrients that not only contribute to the prevention of the previously-mentioned diseases, but it also helps to protect bones and skin, a crucial necessity for adults, especially at an older age.

However, when performing a scientific experiment, researchers can get different results. This doesn't mean that they are wrong or that, in this case, broccoli doesn't provide any benefits. Terrance's results can be controversial but discussable.

As the majority of the research studies demonstrate beneficial effects of broccoli, he can investigate, explore, and discuss the reason behing his conclusions. For example, was this a randomized study? Were all the participants healthy or did they have diseases in which broccoli can't provide a benefit? Ages? etc.

Nonetheless, broccoli does provide health benefits that allow people to live a long, healthier life as long as the person takes care of herself/himself (eat healthy, exercise, etc) as it is not considered a drug/medicine.
