Similar to the physical and cellular burn of exercise that creates some oxidizing free radicals, the «stress» from cruciferous vegetables stimulates our mitochondria to produce homemade antioxidants to counterbalance the oxidation and protect our vital DNA.28 Even cancer
cells have caught on to this central role of our mitochondria — the bastards can amplify their levels of some of these same
pathways — further stressing their importance for survival.25 However, our
cells still seem to have the upper hand, as
multiple studies show that the organosulfur chemicals in many of these anticancer vegetables can severely stress cancer
cells, leading to oxidative damage, and ultimately,
death.29
