Fight Cancer With Broccoli Sprouts
Fight Cancer With Broccoli Sprouts
By Jeannie Crabtree
Mom was right to insist on us eating our vegetables. She knew they built health and gave us the minerals we need.
Take Broccoli sprouts. Broccoli sprouts are rich in a compound that provides significant protection against breast cancer and colon cancer. The compound is called sulforaphane glucosinalate.
Sprouts grown from certain types of broccoli seeds contain up to 50 times more of this compound than mature broccoli.
I have read that a brand of sprouts developed at John Hopkins University is guaranteed to have 20 more times the SGS compound than the mature broccoli. This one is called BroccoSprouts. You can purchase broccoli sprouts at your local health food store or grocery store.
/>
It is possible that Broccoli sprouts could carry the
bacteria that make you sick - salmonella and e.coli, so you may want to take them out of the container when you get them home and soak in a bowl of water with a few drops of grapefruit seed extract for three or four minutes.
Don't put the sprouts back in the same container unless you soak that as well. After draining them for a few minutes store them in the refrigerator.
With Breast cancer and Colon cancer so common these days, be sure to add in this protective food, assisting your body to fight off illness and cancer.
