Q & A with Dr. Jed Fahey

Q: How does SGS reduce the risk of cancer?

A: A complex process, detoxification involves the coordinate stimulation of enzyme inducers with different functions. Some detoxify free radicals --highly reactive molecules linked to the development of cancer. Other enzymes reduce free radical creation, and some conjugate carcinogens, allowing for more effective and rapid elimination from the body. In other words, a carcinogen that would normally accumulate in the fat tissues of the body can be conjugated to a molecule whose production is triggered by a chemoprotective enzyme, and become more water-soluble and thus more readily excreted in the urine.

Brassica® Tea with SGS (sulforaphane glucosinolate) is gourmet Chinese Sencha full leaf natural green and black tea, with 15 milligrams of SGS extract from broccoli added to each tea bag. It is available in 8 varieties. Both the Green and Black Teas are available decaffeinated. Our decaf teas are naturally decaffeinated and GMO and chemical free.

The SGS used in Brassica Tea is contained in an extract of broccoli, using a safe and chemical-free method. When brewed, a cup of tea gives you the same amount of SGS that you would receive if you were to eat 3 ounces of average adult broccoli.

Brassica Teas are produced by Baltimore Coffee and Tea Company, a maker of specialty tea and coffee. You can order by phone at 1-800-823-1408 or order online.
