🌱🕊💚 I love growing my own broccoli sprouts & put them on everything. So easy!!

[@powersprouter]

This morning i piled some on top of homemade hummus on pita, with a squeeze of lemon. Nom!!!

[@marchwater44]

I make a small bed of Broccoli sprouts on my plate. Then I scramble two eggs with green onions and place on top of the greens, Add oregano and pepper to the top. It’s so good1

[@captainadams7569]

I put tofu, avacodo, or vegan cashew cheese, broccoli sprouts on toasted sourdough bread.

[@kardste8114]

Do you eat ground Flaxseeds Dr. Fahey? If not, is there a reason?

[@fionawestbury1148]

Best thing for wrinkles: organic extra virgin coconut oil...amazing!

[@helenmcintosh9747]

can you dry them then grind and put in capsules x

[@curtissiebold4460]

I am going to be testing for colon cancer in a couple weeks and I’m pretty freaked out because there’s a lot of evidence pointing to that’s what I have had for a while. I’ve been trying to eat a lot of broccoli sprouts in the meantime for what it’s worth.

[@karenkelly6785]

Chrisbeatcancer.com he just celebrate his 20th yr. Remove cyst at 26 years old and he overdosed on nutrition, you got this! ❤

[@realitybytes406]

I usually sit my broccoli sprouts in 185 degrees of warm water for 5 minutes to clean them, then I drain and put in fridge for future use. Am I destroying the goodness in the sprouts? Do I need to eat them right away? Thanks for sharing this information.

[@jessemiggins803]

I add them to a sourdough sandwich with Marmite (yeast extract).

[@TheBubbleBia]

Do we need to pour water at 70c as some studies say?

[@masaf6364]

Is it ok to wash my broccoli sprouts with vinegar?

[@skippy6462]

Don't juice ... blend....

[@jamesphillips496]

Here's a simple recipe put them in freezer take them out put them in blender. Drink!

[@Arugula100]

Juicing makes no sense to me. Why do you want to leave the fiber behind? Blending is preferred and makes vetter sense.

[@captainadams7569]

I made that same comment to a friend. She got really upset with me. She says when you juice it goes directly to your cells! I personally juice, and make smoothies, b/c sometimes I want fresh vegetable juice, but I will save the pulp to make vegetable broth, soup, vegan tuna, compost etc. if you juice and throw away the pulp I totally agree with you.

[@karenkelly6785]

If you have been diagnosed, juicing is best for 1st 90 days. When you blend, your body takes up too much energy during the digestion process. 🥦 🥕 🍎

[@karenkelly6785]

And juice gets to the bad cells quicker

[@freespiritwithnature4384]

Putting the sprouts in the freezer and blending up its best . Freezing and blending because you're stressing the plant.

[@NeilBarley]

So sprouts 🌱 are muy bueno but this white jacket is eating oatmeal… 🧐 Heard oatmeal is out?

[@Starcraftghost]

Thankfully, he exists. We knew about the benefits of broccoli sprouts because of this white jacket.

[@KevinSherry-gh9hj]

Wasted my time watching this video as it didn't really go into the effect Sulforaphane has on Cancer. I have seen this Doctor provide much more information in other interviews particularly with Rhonda Patrick.

[@ggkurt]

title is about cancer but no dialog about it 👎

[@karenkelly6785]

Sulphoraphane in broccoli heals 😊

[@F8Tributo]

With regards to prostate cancer- Testosterone is converted to Dihydrotestosterone, which signals prostate cells to grow. The enzyme 5-alpha reductase is what converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone. Sulphoraphane is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. But I'm not sure that's all there is to the story. I'm still learning about this.

[@Starcraftghost]

Dr Fahey mentioned cancer in the beginning of the video. His mentor and a doctoral student at the time discovered sulphoraphane; both are cancer doctors.
