Episode notes
Crucifers Strongly Linked To Lower Mortality
- Cruciferous vegetables, especially broccoli sprouts, strongly associate with lower cancer and all-cause mortality.
- Sulforaphane, from glucoraphanin in sprouts, is the leading candidate mechanism for these benefits.
Use Broccoli Sprouts For Sulforaphane
- Eat broccoli sprouts as a practical, cheap source of sulforaphane because they contain far more glucoraphanin than mature broccoli.
- Grow sprouts at home using a few jars to yield a steady daily supply affordably.
Personal Sprouting Routine
- Rhonda Patrick describes sustaining a personal habit of 40–60 mg/day sulforaphane via bulk sprouting at home.
- She uses about six jars in rotation to produce daily sprouts affordably.
