Sulforaphane is what it sounds.

It has a sulfur atom in it, and that gives it that rotten egg smell.

But sulforaphane activates these hormesis pathways.

There's one called NRF, and that is a stress response pathway.

protein that sulforaphane activates.

So you actually, by eating preferably relatively steamed, not fried to death Brussels sprouts, you'll get sulforaphane.

You can also take sulforaphane as a supplement if you don't like Brussels sprouts.

Well, there's a few examples.

The first time I came across this result as a scientist was resveratrol.

So resveratrol is found in red wine, among other things, and it's thought to give the health benefits of red wine.

And we fed it to mice, fat mice, skinny mice, old mice, and it worked very well in the fat mice.

It made them thinner.

It made them live longer.

It

cured most of their diseases.

They lived about, I think it was 15, 20% longer.

Then we gave it to normal mice every day.

And they lived a little bit longer, but not significantly.

Resveratrol.
