Structure[edit]
Shouldn't it be decomposing to raphanin, rather than sulphoraphane? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.186.43.70 (talk) 12:09, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
Should the section of negative effects be removed or changed?[edit]
"Consumption of large amounts of glucoraphanin may produce negative effects due to increased creation of reactive oxygen species"
"...at a dose equivalent to a human consuming approximately 250 portions of broccoli per day"
The first sentence seems to be ridiculous considering the second one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Albaqualba (talk • contribs) 10:25, 21 January 2017 (UTC)
Research[edit]
I edited the section on research to say:
Sulforaphane as well as other isothiocyanates have been studied for their potential biological effects. Sulforaphane has been found to limit or kill Helicobacter pylori, the bacterium that favors stomach ulcers, and consumption of glucoraphanin-rich broccoli sprouts decreased markers of inflammation and infection in people with H. pylori. Gucoraphanin-derived sulforaphane can reduce oxidative stress, which is associated with diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disease.[1] Sulforaphane from glucoraphanin has displayed neuroprotective effects in several studies, both in vitro and in vivo.[2] It has also been shown to have anticancer activities, both by in vivo and by epidemiological studies.[3] Observational studies provide some evidence that high consumption of cruciferous vegetables is associated with a lower cancer risk in humans, but there is insufficient evidence to indicate that the effect is due to exposure to isothiocyanates, rather than to other factors associated with consuming cruciferous vegetables.[1]
Zefr reverted this, with the comment "restore previously edited research section; subhead for plant breeding - discuss on talk page if you do not understand or agree". Well, of course I don't agree. You took out all the interesting information, even what came from the reference you supplied. You also reverted "Due to the potential health benefits, a variety of broccoli has been bred" to say "Cultivars of broccoli has been bred", as though it wasn't done because of the potential health benefits. This is not the first time you have taken out information from an article which the reader has the right to know. It's very tiresome, and I don't have time to carry on an argument with you again.
