let’s talk about the best form of broccoli now  what is so special about broccoli well it has a  

very interesting compound called sulforaphane and  sulforaphane has been heavily studied it activates  

the nrf2 pathway in your body well it will help  you express over 200 different genes relating  

to producing more antioxidants helping you with  inflammation it’s a powerful anti-inflammatory  

and it helps to turn poisons into harmless  particles and so it helps you detoxify certain  

things in the liver but what i think is more  interesting is it’s anti-cancer properties in  

fact john hopkins university or at least someone  in that university tried to get the patents  

on broccoli sprouts long ago until they found out  you can’t patent a sprout so if they were trying  

to get patents there must be something to these  broccoli sprouts which we’re going to talk about  

but sulfurophane helps to excrete carcinogens  things that can trigger cancer so not only does  

it have anti-cancer properties it helps get rid  of those things that can cause cancer it’s also  

good for your cardiovascular system so let’s go  ahead and compare raw broccoli to broccoli sprouts  

and this is going to be based in the same  amounts 100 grams so in raw broccoli we have  

sulforaphane being 44 to 171 milligrams now if  we compare that to broccoli sprouts we have a  

thousand 153 milligrams that’s 10 times as much  sulforaphane as in raw broccoli you wouldn’t  

necessarily have to keep making broccoli sprouts  you can get it in a powder as well all right now  

let’s take a look at calcium calcium is 42  milligrams versus a 78 milligrams so it has  

twice as much calcium and then vitamin a and raw  broccoli has 567 international units versus 300  

international units in broccoli sprouts and you  have vitamin c 89 milligrams versus 58 milligrams  

iron 700 milligrams versus 720 milligrams  so if you want the benefits of sulforaphane  

definitely do the broccoli sprouts now  there’s one more point i want to bring up  

absorption okay so when you’re consuming raw  broccoli you’re getting about 19% absorption  

as compared to the broccoli sprouts  you’re getting 74 percent absorption  

and because sulforaphane is a fat soluble compound  if you consume it with a meal or with some  

olive oil or another fat you can get even better  absorption so if you’re enjoying my content
