The study found that the cell cycle, which is the division cells go through, was interrupted. This is crucial information, Suzanne Talcott said, because it indicates a possible mechanism for how the cancer cells are prevented or stopped.

Grains and seeds are rich sources of nutrients—but when they are soaked or sprouted, they can become nutritional powerhouses. In a nutshell, here’s why: The germination process (sprouting) produces vitamin C and increases carotenoids and vitamin B content, especially vitamins B2 (riboflavin) , B5 (pantothenic acid), and B6 (pyridoxine). Even more importantly, sprouting neutralizes phytic acid, a substance present in the bran of all seeds that inhibits the absorption of calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc.

The best way to get vitamins and minerals is from their natural state in real, whole foods grown in vitamin and mineral-rich soil—which is almost impossible these days due to agricultural practices and the use of insecticides and pesticides.

Furthermore, there is a disturbing trend of taking otherwise healthy ingredients and mixing them with unhealthy ingredients or insinuating that unhealthy products or ingredients are somehow healthy. For instance, one company recently released a “from fridge to mouth in 60 seconds” deli sandwich—calling it “an innovative new alternative for today’s busy lifestyles…a quick-eat that’s flavorful, nutritious, and convenient.”

Sulforaphane, a compound derived from broccoli and broccoli sprouts, could help prevent or treat breast cancer by inhibiting cancer stem cells (CSCs), found a new US study.
