Sulforaphane! Cancer Fighting Properties
If you have not heard about this naturally occurring compound here is some info:
Results from a 2015 study showed that sulforaphane is capable of switching genes on and off for the purpose of STOPPING TUMOR CELLS FROM REPLICATING AND SPREADING. Sulforaphane may also CAUSE CANCER CELLS TO SELF-DESTRUCT, a process known as apoptosis.
Sulforaphane is a naturally occurring compound in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, and kale. It’s activated only when vegetables are chopped or chewed. The highest levels of Sulforaphane are found in raw vegetables. Broccoli sprouts have up to 25 times more Sulforaphane than fully grown broccoli.
