Glucosinolates: bioavailability and importance to health.

Johnson IT¹.

Excerpt from Abstract

"Epidemiological studies suggest that brassica vegetables are protective against cancers of the lungs and alimentary tract. Cruciferous vegetables are the dietary source of glucosinolates, a large group of sulfur-containing glucosides....Glucosinolates can be gained or lost by vegetables during storage. They may be degraded or leached during processing, or preserved by thermal inactivation of myrosinase....Interpretation of epidemiological data and exploitation of brassica vegetables for human health requires an understanding of glucosinolate chemistry and metabolism, across the whole food chain, from production and processing to the consumer."

Brassica vegetables include broccoli.

 How to Increase the Thymus Function

Last Updated: Aug 16, 2013 | By Joshua Bailey 

"The thymus is a vital organ for the proper development of the immune system of newborns. With the immune system compromised, newborns with a dysfunctional or non-working thymus are prone to infections and disease. As you age, the thymus reduces in size and becomes weaker. At this point, your immune system should be fully developed and strong, but as you enter your old age the decline of the thymus and other organs results in a less efficient immune system. However, the reduction is not as severe as that experienced in newborns. There are several steps you can take to improve the functioning of your thymus and strengthen your immune system.

"Eat five to seven servings of vegetables each day, especially cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage. These veggies contain glucosinolates, which fight cancer and other cellular abnormalities and can help to protect and enhance your thymus."

Also, taking care of your liver helps protect your Thymus gland, and therefore your immune system, because your liver naturally produces a hormone, fibroblast growth factor 21 which helps protect your Thymus gland.

Why I Tell Roommates Not to Answer the Door

"A predator posing as a concerned neighbor assaulted a 23-year-old woman and forced her to perform a sex act in her West Village apartment this weekend, police said. The creep knocked on the door of his victim’s apartment near W. 12 St. and Greenwich Ave. at 3:25 a.m. on Sunday and asked her if something was burning, cops said. He claimed that he lived downstairs. Once inside her home, the man slapped and choked the woman before forcing her to perform oral sex, cops said. The sicko threatened to kill the woman if she screamed, and mocked her for being gullible enough to let him in, police said.

"Cops later determined the attacker had followed the woman for several blocks as she walked home."

Blue Green Algae is No Joke

"Any of the cyanobacteria toxins can be harmful to people and dogs, as well as other animals, and these toxins have no known antidotes.

"Some cyanobacterial blooms can look like foam, scum, or mats that lie on the surface of fresh water lakes and ponds. Some blooms may not affect the appearance of the water. The highest concentrations of toxins are usually found in blooms and scum on the shoreline. These dense accumulations pose the greatest potential risks to people and pets.

"If the blue-green algae bloom produces high volumes of toxins, then touching it can cause rashes and other skin irritations as well as itchy nose, eyes, and throat. Ingesting it can cause diarrhea and vomiting. At high enough levels, toxins can cause liver and nervous system damage. In the case of small children or pets, due to their body mass, the toxins can be fatal." 

The article says to wash off blue-green algae with tap or bottled water, avoiding touching it. Don't use bleach on it as this may crack open the algae cells and spread the cyanobacteria even more.

Nestle seems to also be hell-bent on privatizing water worldwide, so that they can force people to buy it regardless of droughts, etc..

Green Potatoes Can Be Deadly

"The poison is found throughout the plant, but especially in green potatoes and new sprouts. Never eat potatoes that are spoiled or green below the skin. Always throw away the sprouts.

Potatoes that are not green and have had any sprouts removed are safe to eat."
