What are organosulfides?

Answer 1

Organosulfides are phytonutrients that help lower cholesterol. They include:

• Allyl sulfides, found in onions, garlic, chives, and leeks, help reduce the risk of cancer by reducing the production of certain enzymes that convert cancer-causing precursors into their active form.
• Sulforaphane, found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli sprouts, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, bok choy, kale, collards, Chinese broccoli, rapini, kohlrabi, mustard,turnip, radish, arugula, and watercress, inhibits the increase in the interleukin-6 levels in your cells. Interleukin-6 is responsible for the shift from acute inflammation to chronic inflammation, the root of so many diseases. Sulforaphane also exhibits other anti-cancer and antimicrobial properties.
