Hmmmm, I didn't consider this spam since it was about another benefit gained by

eating sprouts. I thought it was a rather interesting article with information

I'd like to do more research on. Is the individual trying to sell us something?

I didn't notice any reference to a particular product. Perhaps I missed it. Is

there some reason I should consider this spam?
