Thus they have concluded that "small quantities of crucifer sprouts may protect against the risk of cancer as effectively as much larger quantities of mature vegetables of the same variety." Additionally they have noted that the indole glucosinates that are prevalent in mature broccoli, for example, are present in only small quantities in the sprouts. One report suggested that the degradation products (e.g., indole-3-carbinol) of these glucosinates might themselves promote tumorigenesis, but several other investigators have not confirmed this.

Glucosinolates The plant family Brassicaceae includes cabbages, sprouts and the mustards and produces a group of glycosides known as glucosinolates. These are sulphur-and nitrogen-containing glycosides previously referred to as nitrogen mustards. A common example of this group is sinalbin from white mustard (Sinapis alba), which in the presence of the enzyme myrosinase is converted into a thiohydroximate, which rearranges with the loss of a hydrogen sulphate salt to the isothio-cyanate, acrinylisothiocyanate (Fig. 6.51).

Constituents Soya contains phytoestrogens of two chemical types: isoflavones including genistein, daidzein and their derivatives, ononin, isoformononetin and others, and coumestans such as coumestrol (especially in the sprouts). There is a fixed oil composed mainly of linoleic and linolenic acids, and phytosterols including P-sitosterol and stigmasterol. Pharmacological effects and clinical efficacy The isoflavones and coumestans are oestrogenic, and are now being used as a natural form of hormone replacement therapy, although the evidence for this is not conclusive.

Alfalfa sprouts reduced risk by almost half (Horn-Ross et al. 2002). However, adding soy flour or protein to a Western diet was not effective. Leukemia. A few studies have been done on human leukemia cells treated with genistein. In a report from Japan, genistein showed the strongest antigrowth effects against HL-60 cells of nine compounds tested. All nine compounds are found in miso (Hirota et al. 2000). In another study on the same type of cells that were made resistant to chemotherapy, genistein was able to reverse the drug resistance almost completely (Nagasawa et al. 1996).

If you'd like to produce more milk, it probably can't hurt to add heaping handfuls of sprouts to your salads. If you have lupus or a family history of lupus, however, it's a good idea to steer clear of alfalfa sprouts. There's some evidence that they may trigger lupus in sensitive individuals. V Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale). The Chinese boil about an ounce of minced dandelion root in two to three cups of water until only half the liquid remains, then use compresses of the resulting brew to treat mastitis. This sounds like a good treatment to me.

After 4 to 5 days, place the sprouts in the sunlight for a few hours to green them, then store in the refrigerator. Use alfalfa sprouts instead of lettuce, since they are far more nutritious. Control Aid in Diabetes According to an August 1984 report in the Journal of Nutrition, scientists at the University of California at Davis found that alfalfa extracts with a lot of manganese definitely improved the condition of a diabetic who failed to respond to insulin. Two capsules twice or three times daily might be worth trying in instances such as this.

It was then observed that the lower potentizations—IX, 2X, 3X—had a paralyzing effect on the growth of the sprouts—an effect that was mitigated as the rate of potentization was increased until growth reached, eventually, a 0 value, at which point the sprouts exhibited no difference from the control subjects. When the experiment was continued with greater dilutions, an acceleration of the growth process was observed, which, after reaching a maximum, decreased until a 0 value was again reached, after which growth was increasingly restrained.

H7 has occasionally been found in raw apple juice and sprouts, and in water contaminated by cattle waste or infected humans, it's most often found in ground beef. In fact, it's so often a problem in ground beef that the serious illness it produces has been called "the hamburger disease." Following the same pattern, outbreaks of Salmonella have been caused by contaminated tomatoes, mustard cress, bean sprouts, cantaloupe, and watermelon, but far more cases have been caused by eggs and other animal products.

Preparation: The wilted leaves are removed from the sprouts, after which they are washed and allowed to stand in cold water for fifteen minutes.

The hair that remains in the balding areas starts out as long, thick, and pigmented and changes into fine, unpigmented sprouts that grow at a slower rate. If a man begins losing his hair during his mid-teen years, there is a good chance he will become completely bald on top of his head. Androgenic alopecia (AGA) is another factor that can cause male-pattern baldness. Androgenic alopecia is caused by three factors: advanced age, an inherited tendency to bald early, and an overabundance of dihy-drotestosterone (DHT), a highly active form of testosterone within the hair follicle.

An uncooked vegan diet consists of berries, fruits, vegetables, roots, and nuts, with germinated seeds and sprouts, which are rich sources of carotenoids, and vitamins C and E. Hanninen et al. (2000) demonstrated that the subjects eating this type of diet showed highly increased levels of alpha- and beta-carotenes, lycopene, and lutein in their blood. Also, the increases of vitamin C and vitamin E were statistically significant.

In mice teceiving methylcobalamin, nerve sprouts were more frequently observed, and the regeneration of motor nerve terminals occurred in sites that had previously been in a degenerating state (Yamazaki et al. 1994). In a study, scientists postulated that methylcobalamin could regulate protein synthesis and help regenerate nerves. The scientists showed that very high doses of methylcobalamin produced nerve regeneration in laboratory rats. The scientists stated that ultrahigh doses of methylcobalamin might be of clinical use for patients with peripheral neuropathies.

Alfalfa is eaten as sprouts, and some sprouts are made from clover. How do isoflavones work? Isoflavones bind with the dominant estrogen receptor in the body. Their activity is weak compared to the activity of human estrogen, and so they act more like antiestrogens by displacing human estrogen from the receptors. Because of their weak estrogen-like effects, isoflavones may reduce menopausal symptoms. More than one study has shown a 40 to 45% reduction in hot flashes over a 3-week period.

Among plant foods, salad bars are most problematic, because pathogens can breed while the salad sits at warmer-than-refrigerator temperatures, exposed to light and air. sprouts have the same problem. But the contribution of sprouts and salad bars to food-borne disease is still small compared to that of meats, dairy products, and eggs. The meat, dairy, and egg industries know their products are the ones most frequently implicated. They say, however, that the problems resulting from these pathogens are not their fault—it's the consumers' responsibility to cook and handle animal foods properly.
