“Fruits and vegetables provide essential nutrients such as folate and B vitamins, but, perhaps more importantly, they deliver bioactive compounds such as [polyphenols]https://www.foundmyfitness.com/topics/polyphenols), carotenoids, isothiocyanates, stilbenes, and others.”

“Cooking temperatures inactivate myrosinase, effectively preventing isothiocyanate conversion and allowing unhydrolyzed glucosinolates to pass into the gut. In humans, myrosinase-producing gut bacteria can convert these glucosinolates to their cognate isothiocyanates.”

“When they treated human cervical cancer stem cells with phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) in a Petri dish, about 75 percent died within 24 hours using a 20-micromolar concentration of the compound.”

“The carnivore community is in error. Despite the overwhelming evidence demonstrating the beneficial health effects of isothiocyanates, some anti-nutritional effects of isothiocyanates have been reported.”

“Sulforaphane is a type of isothiocyanate compound. Isothiocyanates are derived from a wide variety of cruciferous vegetables and moringa, a tropical plant. Very few of these plants contain glucoraphanin, however, the necessary precursor to sulforaphane.”

“There is so much to say when we talk about the NRF2 pathway and isothiocyanates like sulforaphane that we had to pack it into 47 minutes and break it into a few key sections. Key sections: For a more in-depth breakdown click the timeline link at the top of this page!”

“A growing body of scientific evidence suggests that moringin, an isothiocyanate compound derived from moringa, may provide protection against chronic diseases, such as cancer and diabetes, and may be useful in treating the symptoms of mental disorders, such as schizophrenia or autism, especially in developing countries.”

“In addition, inter-individual differences in how people metabolize isothiocyanates and their precursors may influence exposure. Measuring urinary isothiocyanate metabolites likely provides more accurate measures of habitual intake and metabolite-specific exposures that positively influence risk.”

“Moringa is a tropical plant that exerts a wide range of beneficial health effects. A growing body of evidence indicates that moringin, an isothiocyanate compound derived from moringa, may help prevent or even treat a variety of chronic health conditions, including cancer, diabetes, and autism. In this clip, Dr. Jed Fahey discusses the beneficial health effects of moringa.”

“Sulforaphane – an isothiocyanate phytochemical derived from cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, and mustard – induces a wide array of protective mechanisms in cells. But sulforaphane isn’t normally present in these vegetables.”
