“Independent finished-product testing can verify identity and selected contaminants, while diet, laboratory results, medicines, kidney health, age, and life stage can guide decisions about iron, vitamin D, omega-3, and magnesium.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick answers audience questions on various health, nutrition, and science topics in this Q&A session.

“Sulforaphane activates NRF2-regulated cellular defense pathways. In a randomized crossover trial of 60 adults, eating 85 grams of raw watercress daily for eight weeks reduced basal lymphocyte DNA damage by 17% and oxidative purine DNA damage by 23.9%.”

“Early discoveries in aging research revealed that sirtuins, a class of enzymes that control gene expression, modulate lifespan by mimicking the effects of calorie restriction – the chronic reduction of energy intake.”

“While the alcohol concentration in breast milk is low, infants cannot metabolize it very well and can cause altered sleep habits, decreased appetite, weight gain, low blood sugars, and impaired motor development.”

“Bruce explains that this may still leave people insufficient for long-term diseases. In light of his triage theory, this means a poor diet may have enough nutrition to prevent serious acute diseases but still lead to accelerated aging and long-term diseases.”

“Robust clinical evidence has demonstrated that sulforaphane increases the production of mercapturic acid metabolites of benzene and acrolein, known carcinogens present in air pollution and smoke from fires.”

“Acute activation of the immune system (from exercise or sauna use for example) can temporarily reduce inflammation and the depression that can come with it. The segments brought to you by this episode of The Aliquot feature professor of psychiatry Dr. Charles Raison.”

“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.”
