While all cruciferous vegetables (such as cabbage, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, mustard, turnip, radish and watercress) contain sulforaphane to a certain degree, the concentration is highest in three-day-old sprouts of the broccoli plant. Sulforaphane has the effect of activating cells' production of what are known as "phase 2 enzymes." One such enzyme, glutathione S-transferase, has been shown to neutralize the DNA-damaging compounds produced by the skin produces when struck by ultraviolet radiation.

I have felt the same way for years also. I use sunscreen sparingly, and it's true that Vitamn D is mandatory for good health. Also, I've been reading a lot about Acai berries. I think (and this is my intuition) that it's better for everyone to eat what is indiginous to their area. It makes sense to me somehow that consuming locally grown foods can provide nutrients and protection that may be specific to the local population - like consuming local bee honey to treat seasonal allergies. Do you know anything about broccoli lotion sunscreen? I read a study that said it can protect from sun damage also but don't know if it's availale, or still in the experimental phase. So, I shall eat tomatos on the beach, correct? (lol). Hi,
