If you add only one food to your anticancer nutrition plan, the research points strongly to one answer: broccoli sprouts. These tiny, unassuming seedlings — available at most grocery stores or easy to grow at home — contain concentrations of the most well-studied anticancer phytochemical on Earth.
That compound is sulforaphane (SFN) — an isothiocyanate derived from cruciferous vegetables that has now been investigated in over 3,000 published studies. And unlike many "superfoods" hyped on social media, sulforaphane's mechanisms are deeply understood at the molecular level, spanning cancer prevention, cancer stem cell targeting, chemotherapy enhancement, radiation sensitization, and immunotherapy support.
This research blog compiles everything the current science tells us about broccoli sprouts and cancer — including how sulforaphane works, how to maximize the amount you produce and absorb, and how it interacts with ...

In this post, I’m going to walk you through exactly what AHCC is, where it comes from, how it differs from beta-glucan, what the laboratory and animal studies show, what human clinical studies have found, how it interacts with chemotherapy, rad...
