These are then sent out of your body in your urine or feces. As this process unfolds however, there is one very dangerous point. When a toxic chemical has had oxygen attached by the Phase I enzyme, it can be even more dangerous than when it entered your body. The key is to have plenty of Phase II enzymes around to deal with these activated toxins and kick them out of your body. This phenomenon depends on the right kinds of food in your diet.
Some foods contain powerful enzyme inducers.
They cause the body to make more Phase II enzymes. Some of these foods are broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower. These vegetables also work well at detoxifying cancer-causing chemicals in beef. Note however, that none of the vegetables reduces the risk to zero, so avoiding beef is still the healthiest strategy. Soybean products, such as tofu, tempeh and soy milk, also contain natural compounds that stimulate your body to make more of these helpful Phase II enzymes, which may be part of the reason why Asian countries have especially low rates of most cancers.
