Yeah it even starts with something not backed up by the study it's reporting on:
"Imagine being able to swap out broccoli for sweets, Ben & Jerry's or some other sugary treat and achieve the same health benefits. This is fact not fantasy for about two to three percent of the Greenlandic population"
The study does not say sweets confer the same health benefits as broccoli!

It essentially acts like soluble fibre. Of course the micro-nutrients that would be in the broccoli don't materialize out of nowhere.
