BROCCOLI

Cancer - Because of its high content of Sulforaphane broccoli is ranked first in the United States National Cancer Institutes'  
list of all around, anti-cancer vegetables to help fight cancers of the breast, cervix, stomach, colon  and prostate ... and
Broccoli Sprouts contain 20-50 times more sulforaphane than mature broccoli.  


Sulforaphane is the magic phytochemical in broccoli sprouts. This is because sulforaphane performs two critical actions which
help fight cancer and other chronic diseases
  • It stimulates the GST gene  to produce Glutathione .. much more than any supplement can supply. Glutathione is one of
    the most important anti-oxidants in the body and helps destroy free radicals which can damage  DNA and protein and
    cause all sorts of diseases which result from this damage.
  • It activates Phase 2 enzymes which destroy cancer causing chemicals (produced by the body or taken in food, air and
    water)  in the body

Alzheimer's - Recent studies, reported in the Spring/Summer issue of  the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University
seem to indicate the glutathione  can help protect against Alzheimer's and other neurological diseases  by protecting brain
cells against damage.

Smoking - Broccoli has sulforaphane which activates Phase 2 enzymes. The phase 2 enzyme activation brought about by
broccoli would help destroy the cancer causing chemicals present in cigarette smoke and so would protect against lung
cancer.  

As a side point, there are enzymes in the body, known as Phase 1 enzymes, which cause the formation of cancer causing
agents. Garlic has been shown to inactivate these Phase 1 enzymes and may protect against cancer. So, garlic taken along
with broccoli would provide a double protection against cancer.

Heart Disease - Tweaking of  the  GST gene to more activity and consequent stimulation of glutathione  anti-oxidant
production helps keep arteries healthy by protecting cholesterol from free radical damage and consequent  formation of  
plaques and  hardening of the arteries that are responsible for heart disease.

General Nutrition Benefits -  The vitamin C, Vitamin A, Carotenes, Vitamin E, Luteins and Fiber contents of broccoli can
certainly improve general nutritional status to protect the body against chronic diseases. So what do we do to fight such
diseases?

We take lots of supplements -  Vitamin C,   Minerals, Tea extracts, Grape extracts, Lipoic acids, Carotenes, Lycopene,
Polyphenols  and many  others. Although there is nothing wrong with taking these supplements in moderation, we must
remember  that complete, natural supplements are better and broccoli is ranked first in the U.S. National Cancer Institutes list
of all around, anti-cancer vegetables. Sprouts are  now available encapsulated, Organic, 100% Natural.
