DESCRIPTION: The boost in detoxifying enzymes triggered by cruciferous vegetable consumption may last for weeks! To review what I had covered previously about the remarkable detoxifying effect of cruciferous vegetables, see my videos The Best Detox (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-best-detox/) and Sometimes the Enzyme Myth Is True (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/sometimes-the-enzyme-myth-is-true/). You can overdo it, but apparently only at extremely high doses (see https://nutritionfacts.org/videos/liver-toxicity-due-to-broccoli-juice/, https://nutritionfacts.org/video/overdosing-on-greens/, and https://nutritionfacts.org/videos/how-much-broccoli-is-too-much/).

Wasn’t the protective effect of fruit and vegetable consumption against cancer called into question, though? See my video EPIC Study (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/epic-study/).

What other foods may mediate the effects of the mutagenic compounds in cooked meat? See the last two videos Cancer, Interrupted: Green Tea (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/cancer-interrupted-green-tea/) and Cancer, Interrupted: Garlic & Flavonoids (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/cancer-interrupted-garlic-flavonoids/). What are these heterocyclic amines? You must have missed my four-part video series starting with Estrogenic Cooked Meat Carcinogens (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/estrogenic-cooked-meat-carcinogens/)!

What are the health effects of that caffeine buzz? See Coffee and Cancer (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/coffee-and-cancer/) and What About the Caffeine? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/what-about-the-caffeine/).

More about the implications of frying veggie burgers here: Carcinogens in the Smell of Frying Bacon (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/carcinogens-in-the-smell-of-frying-bacon/), an update of which I’m going to give in my next video—stay tuned!

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at https://nutritionfacts.org/video/prolonged-liver-function-enhancement-from-broccoli/ and he’ll try to answer it
