An extract made from broccoli sprouts boosts the body's natural ability to defend against the ultraviolet solar rays that cause skin cancer, reveals a study conducted by researchers at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. If a product could be developed from the extract, it could even provide key advantages over typical sunscreens lotions, which contain numerous carcinogenic (cancer-causing) chemicals."If you apply an extract of broccoli sprouts that contains high levels of sulforaphane to regions of human skin, you can protect them very substantially," said study co-leader Paul Talalay. "We believe, to the best of our knowledge, that this is the first demonstration of protection against a known human carcinogen in humans."

Go up to a hot chic:

"Hey! Would you spread some broccoli on my back please?"

They would have to do something about the smell. I like broccoli but it can be funky.

Most of the as$ that I rip smells like steamed broccoli... Unless it's a Forslean Fart (patent pending) it smells like a stagnant well.

Haha, it'll clear a 20X20 area in a matter of 5.3 seconds.

Get a dog, they can't deny it.

If sulforaphane in capsules doesn't stink, then I guess you can just mix some of that stuff up with moisturizer... If you don't mind looking green

I read the PNAS article and actually went to a talk where Talalay spoke. In no way shape or form will this replace sunscreens anytime soon. SPF 45+ daily, witha UVA blocker is most important for skin cancer protection and preventing premature skin ageing.

Deer - why do you say that? Can you elaborate?

Also - why 45+?? I thought I read there isn't much benefit above 30 spf or so.

Thanks for your insights! Love having you around.
