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

“Sulforaphane, a bioactive compound derived from broccoli, broccoli sprouts, and red kale, exerts potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that can combat various chronic and acute diseases.”

“Exposure to environmental toxins – in the food we eat, the water we drink, and the air we breathe – is largely unavoidable. But monitoring our exposures and implementing diet and lifestyle strategies can help mitigate the risks associated with toxic exposures. In this Aliquot, Dr. Dale Bredesen, Dr. Michael Snyder, and I discuss ways to deal with our increasingly toxic environment.”

“Antibiotic therapy is commonly used to eradicate the bacterium, but sulforaphane, an isothiocyanate compound derived from broccoli, has been shown to reduce H. pylori populations markedly, and may offer a more cost-effective means of treating H.”

“Parents and care providers of children and adults with autism often report that fever temporarily ameliorates the altered behavioral patterns of their charges. Emerging scientific data corroborates these reports, suggesting that triggering the body's fever response might offer promise as a therapeutic strategy for people with autism.”

“For example, sulforaphane promotes the urinary excretion of benzene and acrolein, toxic compounds present in air pollution. But sulforaphane also demonstrates remarkable antibacterial activity: It reduces populations of Helicobacter pylori, or H.”

“Although human trials are lacking, some animal research suggests that sulforaphane and its byproducts protect against bladder cancer. In this clip, Dr. Fahey describes the metabolic fate of sulforaphane and the current state of research on its effects against bladder cancer.”

“The seeds of cruciferous vegetables are particularly good sources of isothiocyanates, but care must be taken to preserve the myrosinase, which is heat sensitive. In this clip, Dr. Jed Fahey describes the chemical reaction that produces isothiocyanates and cautions against preparation techniques that might inhibit their production.”
