No they are not 'bad' for you but if cooked incorrectly they smell and taste foul. There are two ways of cooking them.
One is to boil them for 20 minutes in boiling salted water, which is what most people do. This turns their colour into a greeny yellow and makes the sprouts smell awful and taste worse.
Two, and this is the best way, drop them into salted water that is already boiling. Cook them for no more than five minutes then remove and drain. The sprouts should be bright green, crunchy in texture and sweet to the taste. Serve with butter.You would think that they were a completely different vegetable from the evil mess that is usually served up. I wouldn't eat them any other way. Alternatively you can cook them for a minute less and toss them in melted butter in a frying pan for a minute or so.

brussel sprouts are great for you; all the cruciferous vegetables are super

Oh definitely. Who the hell would eat those and be happy? Hey, I consider happiness a major factor in healthiness.

Certainly not, they are full of vitamins. Steam them lightly, then toss them in some salt, olive oil and nutmeg. Enjoy.

They are very good for you-and I love them.However, it's something of an acquired taste.
