Eat your BroccoSprouts, too! [link edited by EmpowHer moderator]
Ongoing research on sulforaphane has consistently shown powerful cancer-preventative properties since Johns Hopkins scientists first discovered high levels of the compound in broccoli in 1992. Sulforaphane boosts the body's own antioxidant defense system, including Phase 2 detoxification enzymes, which promote long-lasting antioxidant activity in the body.
Johns Hopkins Medical School’s Paul Talalay, MD, first identified sulforaphane in broccoli and, subsequently, he and Dr. Jed Fahey found that young broccoli plants (three-day-old broccoli sprouts) contain extremely high levels of the compound. Broccoli sprouts contain more than 20 times greater concentration of Sulforaphane precursor SGS than can be found in adult broccoli. This discovery led to the creation of BroccoSprouts® which are the only functional food that guarantees a consistent level of SGS and are readily available in the produce sections of supermarkets across the country. Eating BroccoSprouts is a simple, effective and immediate way for consumers to use this large body of research to their advantage.
