Prolonged Liver Function Enhancement From Broccoli

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 (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-best-detox/) and Sometimes the Enzyme Myth Is True (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/sometimes-the-enzyme-myth-is-true/). 

You can overdo it, but apparently only at extremely high doses (see http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/liver-toxicity-due-to-broccoli-juice/, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/overdosing-on-greens/, and http://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 (http://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 (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/cancer-interrupted-green-tea/) and Cancer, Interrupted: Garlic & Flavonoids (http://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 (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/estrogenic-cooked-meat-carcinogens/)!
 
What are the health effects of that caffeine buzz? See Coffee and Cancer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/coffee-and-cancer/) and What About the Caffeine? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/what-about-the-caffeine/).
