Broccoli Sprouts

No longer are we subject to eating Broccoli in its original form to provide our bodies with antioxidant protection. According to studies conducted by Dr. Paul Talalay at John Hopkins University, Broccoli sprouts have the same, if not stronger effects. Mature broccoli is packed with vitamins, minerals, fiber and several phytochemicals that are proving to be powerful anti-cancer agents in the lab. Young broccoli sprouts, however, have a much higher concentration of two types of these cancer-fighting chemicals known as glucosinolates and isothiocyanates (sulforaphane).

Studies have shown that an extract from broccoli sprouts can reduce the risk of bladder cancer There are about 10,000 new cases every month. Leafy vegetables such as broccoli, broccoli sprouts,spinach, turnip greens, lettuces, dried beans and peas are rich in folic acid. Most bladder cancer begin in cells that normally make up the inner lining of the bladder. Keywords: broccoli bladder cancer, broccoli cancer treatment for the bladder, broccoli helps bladder cancer cases by providing a high dose of isothiocyanates, in particular sulforaphane. Rats fed an extract of broccoli sprouts show increased production in their bladder tissue of two enzymes crucial for protecting cells from oxidants and cancer-promoting chemicals. People lacking these enzymes are at increased risk of bladder cancer. Cancer Research, March 1, 2008.

Each capsule of Broccoli sprouts contains the same Sulforaphane level as a 9-10 ounce serving of Broccoli. Broccoli sprouts are among the most potent anti-carcinogens in the food industry, with a presence of Sulforaphane found in significant quantities. Broccoli sprouts can be used to top off salads or taken in a capsule form as offered by Oregon Health.
