Title: Some scientific research results Post by: lance on June 18, 2006, 11:03:54 AM Hi all,
Here are some links to scientific research relating to broccoli sprouts: - "Dietary Approach to Attenuate Oxidative Stress, Hypertension and Inflammation in the Cardiovascular System" was conducted by a team lead by Bernhard H.J. Juurlink, Ph.D. at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada. http://www.news-medical.net/?id=949 - Broccoli Sprouts Eaten During Pregnancy May Provide Children with Life-long Protection Against Heart Disease - U of S Study http://www.usask.ca/events/news/articles/20060131-1.html - A diet rich in broccoli sprouts significantly reduced Helicobacteri pylori (H. pylori) infection among a group of 20 individuals, found a team of researchers in Japan. H. pylori is known to cause gastritis and is believed to be a major factor in peptic ulcer and stomach cancer (lead investigator Akinori Yanaka of the University of Tsukuba) Please add any papers (links, abstract, etc.) you find useful by replying in this thread!

Title: Re para 16 in the press-release post Dr. Juur's talk Post by: Nikidita on October 25, 2006, 01:29:13 PM Quote SGS-Rich BroccoSprouts(R) Researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, who first isolated sulforaphane from broccoli in 1992, found that young broccoli sprouts, in particular, contained concentrations of SGS that were 20 to 50 times greater than those found in adult cooked broccoli. These broccoli sprouts are now available to consumers as BroccoSprouts(R). One ounce of BroccoSprouts has the same amount of SGS as 1-1/4 pounds (20 ounces) of mature, cooked broccoli. So... what is 11/4 pounds? (it says it equates to 20 ounces) but it doesn't make sense... maybe I'm not reading it right? help, pls :roll: Title: Some scientific research results Post by: lance on October 25, 2006, 04:56:09 PM Nikidita,
That's one and one quarter pounds = 1¼ lbs = 20 ounces. The original message is missing a space. Lance. |
