“the major dietary activator of this system is a compound called sulfurane which is something that you can produce when you eat cruciferous vegetables like broccoli broccoli um is a good source actually the younger plant broccoli Sprouts have a hundred times more of the precursor to make sulfur called glucoraphenin um so you basically this suhane compound is made when the plant is like broken so when you bite it chew it right that's when you start to make the suhane so broccoli Sprouts have a really really high concentration of that precursor.”
