OT:Why eating healthy foods is always superior to taking extracts or other synthetic food-derived products.

[Guest guest]

Broccoli

and related vegetables such as cabbage and Brussels sprouts naturally contain a

chemical known as glucobrassicin. When these vegetables are crushed by

chewing, a chemical reaction transforms glucobrassicin into

indole-3-carbinol (I3C). In laboratory studies, I3C has been found to

have tumor-suppressing effects, which may partially explain broccoli's

cancer-fighting properties.

But the story doesn't end there: When

broccoli is digested, two molecules of I3C combine to form a single molecule of

3,3'-diindolylmethane (DIM). DIM, like I3C, has been linked to

cancer-fighting properties in laboratory studies, and also to immune-boosting

effects. The I3C/DIM story provides a telling example of why eating healthy

foods is always superior to taking extracts or other synthetic food-derived

products.
