Glucoraphanin is a glucosinolate found in broccoli, [1] [2] mustard and other cruciferous vegetables. [3] [4] Glucoraphanin is converted to sulforaphane by the enzyme myrosinase. [5] In plants, sulforaphane deters insect predators and acts as a selective antibiotic. [6]
For dogs, xylitol can cause a dangerous drop in blood sugar and liver failure. 6. Alcohol. It might seem obvious, but even small amounts of alcohol can have serious effects on a dog’s liver and ...
Do any other vegetables come close? Yep—Chinese cabbage and chard come in second and third, respectively, on the CDC's list of healthiest fruits and vegetables. Chinese cabbage scored 91.99 ...
Phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) is a naturally occurring isothiocyanate whose precursor, gluconasturtiin is found in some cruciferous vegetables, [1] especially watercress. PEITC has been studied for its potential for chemoprevention of cancers, [ 2 ] [ 3 ] such as prostate cancer.
Sulforaphane (sometimes sulphoraphane in British English) is a compound within the isothiocyanate group of organosulfur compounds. [1] It is produced when the enzyme myrosinase transforms glucoraphanin, a glucosinolate, into sulforaphane upon damage to the plant (such as from chewing or chopping during food preparation), which allows the two compounds to mix and react.
1. Ketogenic Diet. Cancer cells rely on glucose for energy to grow. The ketogenic diet is a way to provide an alternative energy source to normal cells in the dog's body while starving the cancer ...
Indole-3-carbinol is the subject of on-going biomedical research into its possible anticarcinogenic, [4] antioxidant, and anti-atherogenic effects. [5] Research on indole-3-carbinol has been conducted primarily using laboratory animals and cultured cells. [6] Limited and inconclusive human studies have been reported.
Dogs, like their wolf ancestors, need protein-heavy diets. Over centuries of domestication and life with humans, canines have grown to love certain vegetables, too. This doesn’t mean plopping a ...
