Aliquot #9: Sulforaphane: Discovery, research, and health effects

Drs. Jed Fahey and Rhonda Patrick

Sulforaphane switches on mechanisms that protect against cancer and other environmental insults. Sulforaphane is produced when the plants' cells are damaged by chewin or chopping and some culinary "hacks" favor its production. Although concerns have arisen about sulforaphane's antinutrient potential, they are unfounded. This Aliquot segment includes 5 clips featuring nutritional biochemist Dr. Jed Fahey, and a clip featuring Dr. Rhonda Patrick in an interview with podcast host Kevin Rose.
