Thomas, at 4:57, you said you could steam broccoli to break down the raffinose, but still have the health benefits of the sulforaphane that broccoli provides, but *this is incorrect.* Sulforaphane is produced when the cells of broccoli are crushed such that glucoraphanin, the precursor of sulforaphane, reacts with myrosinase, an enzyme that gets released when the cells are crushed. But *heat deactivates myrosinase, so cooked broccoli actually will not give you any sulforaphane at all.* Three minutes of heating broccoli at 60˚C (140˚F) is enough to destroy over 90% of the myrosinase in broccoli; steaming it, which exposes it to even higher temperatures, will destroy myrosinase even more thoroughly. See the 1999 paper by L. Ludikhuyze et al. titled "Kinetic Study of the Irreversible Thermal and Pressure Inactivation of Myrosinase from Broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. Cv. Italica)". If you cook broccoli, or any brassica vegetable, you will not be getting the benefit of sulforaphane. The only way you can get sulforaphane and cook the broccoli is if you chop it up, leave it for 10 minutes for the myrosinase + glucoraphanin reaction to occur, and then cook it. The sulforaphane is somewhat heat stable and can survive modest cooking like steaming, but the enzyme needed to make it is not. Alternatively, you can cook the broccoli, and then serve it with raw mustard. Mustard seeds re-introduce myrosinase, which can then produce some of that sulforaphane, since glucoraphanin is heat stable enough to survive steaming. But if the mustard has been cooked in any way or has been pasteurized, then this trick will not work.

I suffered with IBS for decades, just figuring it was part of life. Once I stopped eating processed foods and steamed my vegetables, the IBS symptoms diminished markedly. Also, I now drink very little to no milk but do eat quality cheeses. Alternating leafy greens (with vinegar) with cruciferous vegetables works very well too. And drinking lemon water in between meals does wonders. You CAN control IBS. It just requires persistent lifestyle (stress) and diet changes.
I also suffered with IBS for many years. Every doctor telling me to eat more fiber eat more fiber. I finally dumped fiber altogether. When I did that I also dumped IBS. No symptoms in years now.
For me it was getting grains, not just gluten which is the worse issue I have, but also seed oils and lugumes out of the diet. Always loved green and yellow beans and bean sprouts, but just one and I look like I am 10 months pregnant and in pain.
@dawnelder9046 We are all different and have to know ourselves. It's why doctors struggle so much with IBS patients: Individualized, wholistic plans work best, but many give up and prescribe meds. I am blessed to have a doctor that listens and is open-minded. He even let me go off my BP meds when I explained that overcorrection of BP can cause glaucoma, which I have. He said, "Fine. What pressure are you shooting for?" I told him 140/90 or less, and he was OK with that. 120/80 is too little for some people, and the Lisinopril was taking mine even lower. I cut my own dosage in half to keep from getting dizzy!
Human Dietary Fiber: 1/2 cup Hubbard-type winter squash or 1/2 cup pears or 1/4 cup red or black raspberries or 2 or 3 quarters prepared artichokes. (U. of Virginia, and registered dietition and nutritional consultant N.I.H.) Every digestive cycle, this provides good gut health. The digestive cycle is how long it takes for fresh beets to show up as red color in the water after digested. The information you provide is very good, and especially because you explain it. It seems to me, however, it is to deal with gut problems brought about by harmful practices. Our human biological systems do not need a powder or a pill unless we are already ill, even then, not necessarily. It is more essential to bring everything back to function as designed.
Very little Sulphuraphane in broccoli, more in sprouts but you'd have to eat a pound or more daily. Better to by the extract. Your immune system will skyrocket. Next Graviola used to prevent and cure Organ Cancers in Indonesia & prescribed in Germany. Proven over last 70 years ++++
it would be interesting to compare BROCCOLI - with broccoli SPROUTS. My guess is that sprouts have all the benefits of steamed broccoli - but do not have raphinose (sugar).
Why don't just eat papaya, green banana, apples and green veggies , instead of taking some fancy supplements that don't have the same effects as natural food
Try to eat green bananas separately. Steam it after slicing it and sauté it in a bit of oil with preferred spice I take my broccoli half cooked which I sautés with a little spice and salt. Delicious Been eating both for many years
Or... You can lacto ferment your broccoli and get rid of most of the bad stuffs, and greatly increase all the good stuffs as well their absorbability.... Funnily, I've also been planning on doing this with green banana as well
About 8 months ago a doctor (dermatologist)put me on a low dose, 50mg of antibiotics which destroyed my healthy gut. I have always been drawn towards holistic because I know it works. I just want to thank you for allowing me alternatives. I'm personally disgusted with today's allopathic practices. Thank you again and again.
Thomas Delauer - update: My son received his seed shipment and started taking it immediately. He is doing very well!! I am grateful for that. He is doing a very strict carnivore diet and taking the seed and his pain has gone way down!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
The more I/we learn about how hard eating raw veggies is on the human body, the more I wonder if humans were ever even supposed to eat veggies raw, or if they were always supposed be boiled, or mashed, or stuck into a stew? (See what I did there?) 🤣 I wonder if there are any benefits we LOSE from steaming or otherwise heating veggies in a way that won't sap micronutrients? (obviously we know boiling removes some good things in many veggies)...
Butter has the highest concentration of butyrate out of any food :) You can eat as much of it as you want with no ill effects (it tastes great frozen. Always eat it cold because trying to drink melted butter is...difficult to say the least) If you don't want to just eat straight butter like us carnivores do, gruyere, bleu, gouda, parmesian, and cheddar are also high in butyrate. Sheesh. It's like animal only is the way to go for real lmao
Generally: when you talk about these nutrients in foods, how well do these nutrients hold up to cooking? In this specific case, do you need to eat the broccoli raw to get them? EDIT: I did hear at around 5:00 where you say they are still present after steaming/blanching. But cooking obviously changes food, so not every compound can go unchanged after cooking.
Cooking general destroys nutrients. Not completely but it does damage the food HIGH heat will destroy everything. The less cooking you do the more nutrients you will get.
I figure, as long as it's cooked, you can probably get 40 to 80 percent of the nutrients, so cook it how you enjoy it most. If you don't like it, you won't eat it. We are all only human, and being practical is important.
Actually some nutrients in many foods only become bioavialable when the food is cooked. It could be one of the reasons we started cooking. To make things edible. Not to cook meat, were everything is bio available no matter what. But to cook the vegetables are guts are not designed to handle. The original vegetables were not what they are today, and not having the right gut system are ancestors in time of hunger had to figure out how to make them edible. A lot of food myths we take as fact, and which have been repeated over and over again are simply not true or dangerous. No actual science behind them. Drink 8 glasses of water a day. Even if not thirsty. Because you are too stupid to know if you need water. End up deleting electralights from your body making you sick. And not everyone has the money to buy them. How much water you needs depends on a number of factors, including what types of foods you have eaten, how much you have moved and the weather. Raw food is always better. Not always. A lot of foods in the human diet need to go threw not just basic cooking, but vast processing, or you die. Cashews are an example. The raw is better is based on a idea, not actual science. Someone made up a theory and presented it as fact.
Dr. Michael Greger reports on science showing that a little yellow mustard, not a fancy one but basic yellow, unlocks a lot more nutrition in cooking brassicas. This makes cooked more nutritious than raw
So, I made my own super thick beyond Greek yogurt with a half gallon a2 whole milk and half gallon grass fed organic. It's the consistency of cream cheese because I strained it an extra 24 hours. I get a tummy ache/intestinal upset. They say it's because there are so many pro biotic. What say you?
If you’re using raw milk yes it would be full of probiotics when any type of fermentation takes place. If no raw milk I’d say your intestines don’t like it.
I just placed my first order for Seed. My son had an aggressive form of cancer and had horrible, very strong, chemotherapy. The first treatments didn't work and his cancer came back. So he had to do more chemotherapy followed by a stem cell transplant. He spent several weeks in the hospital, but, he is finally in remission now for 4 months. All the treatments have totally messed up his gut. We have been doing keto for about 10 years, but, now he can't even do that because his gut just can't digest the food and he spends hours and hours in tremendous pain in his gut. He wishes he didn't have to ever eat. I switched us to primarily meat, carnivore diet. We watched this video and I will be adding broccoli back into the diet. I am praying that Seed will help him. Regular probiotics does nothing for him. If this helps him to rebuild his gut microbiome then I will be forever grateful to you for sharing this. Your discount made it possible for me to purchase this first order, without it I would not have been able to get it for him.
Broccoli is a cruciferous vegetable. So is Brussels sprouts. Could you get to the same place with them, or any other cruciferous vegetable for that matter?
Be CAREFUL with green bananas! Rhonda Patrick recently mentioned that bananas contain a compound that breaks down polyphenols. So if you mix bananas with blueberries, etc., you run the risk of losing the benefits of the polyphenols which are possibly the biggest benefit of blueberries.
Then again, Dr. Mark Hyaman recently said that blueberries were on the “ dirty dozen” list of EWG. Blueberries contain too much toxins from pesticides but you could always buy them organic if you can afford it. Dirty dozen: Strawberries Spinach Kale, Collard & Mustard Greens Peaches Pears Nectarines Apples Grapes Bell & Hot Peppers Cherries Blueberries Green Beans
Tom, Brussels Sprouts are the real deal. Brocolli is Way too expensive, Fiber unpalatable , and Way too much waste with stems. The bottom line is too expensive, too much waste, and low in nutrients. On the other hand, a frozen bag of Brussels sprouts is Very inexpensive, has No waste, and doubles the nutrients.
I really like your content - but when you start talking about biochemistry, it becomes harder to take you seriously. In past videos, you've been positive on bone-in sardines for the calcium content, but then turn around and be critical of calcium chloride calling it a preservative. The calcium carbonate in the sardine bones turns into calcium chloride as soon as it hits your stomach acid. This is high school chemistry. If you get high school chemistry wrong, how can we take you seriously when you start talking about chemistry so advanced that they don't even teach it in college except to students with majors that require advanced chemistry to graduate? And, you've gotten artichokes and Jerusalem artichokes mixed up more often than you've gotten it right. They are NOT the same vegetable. Jerusalem artichokes are a root vegetable from the Sunflower family that is named because it kinda sorta tastes kinda like artichokes.
I really needed this. Been dealing with UC since I was 8 and I'm 45 now. Been trying to figure out what to do for the longest, and fermented foods always made things worse for me.
Eating broccoli every other day seems rather boring and eating green bananas, no way José. Food has to be tasty to eat, people are overcomplicating things with food. Eating must be a pleasure for the senses besides being good for the gut and the microbiome.
MegaGenesis™ by Microbiome Labs contains the Limosilactobacillus reuteri PB-W1® strain isolated from a healthy Papua New Guinean adult. It was developed to increase the functional capacity of the gut microbiome with genes responsible for the metabolism of raffinose, lactose, and starch.
THOMAS, I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT INFLAMATION THAT I NEED TO ASK, HOPING YOU OR SOMEONE CAN TRUTHFULLY ANSWER FOR ME THAT I CAN'T SEEM TO GET AN ANSWER TO . EVEN WHEN ASKING GOOGLE , AND CHAT GPT, I HAVE A FEW MEDICAL DOCTORS BUT THEY HAVEN'TRESPONDED BACK TO MY QUESTION...SO I'M ASKING YOU HOPEING YOU WILL ANSWER FOR ME..- IF SOMEONE HAS INFLAMATION IN THEIR JOINT , IS IT THE SAME AS INFLAMATION THAT AFFECTS THE LIVER , OR THE BRAIN , OR ANY OTHER PART OF THE BODY?
I don't complicate my self. I have kefir, I added some probiotics and now I have unlimited probiotics added with kefir. Then I ferment oatmeal whole not refined with kefir, I add inuline and potatoes resistent starch and I create butyrate and many great post biotics for sure babe use maybe in my stomach they don't reach to convert. That's something that feels so good in my stomach and for sure cleans my colon, it'd so therapeutic eat that.
Its all a bit of an overload of information and it can be conflicting so im going carnivore it's simple and ive been convinced by the science ive heard keto has served me well but im going hardcore now at least for 3 months then ill decide if i need to reintroduce vegetables ill see the proof is in the pudding excuse the pun
Key takeaways from Thomas Delauer's video "The Best Food for Gut Health is NOT Fiber, it’s THIS Vegetable (colon health)" include: 1. **Broccoli Over High-Fiber Vegetables**: Contrary to common belief, broccoli, rather than high-fiber vegetables, is highly beneficial for gut health, especially for those with gastrointestinal issues. 2. **Impact on Microbiome Diversity**: A study highlighted by Delauer shows that incorporating broccoli into the diet significantly enhances microbiome diversity and increases butyrate levels, which are crucial for colon health. 3. **Glucosinolates in Broccoli**: Broccoli contains glucosinolates, which convert into compounds like indol carbazol (ICZ) and indol 3 carbinol. These compounds help in detoxifying the gut and regulating estrogen metabolism. 4. **Broccoli's Toxin Removal Function**: ICZ in broccoli binds to receptors in the gut, triggering a response that aids in the removal of toxins, an essential function of the colon. 5. **Preparation Method Matters**: For those with gut issues, the way broccoli is prepared is important. Blanching or steaming broccoli can remove raffinose, a sugar that can cause digestive distress, while retaining its beneficial properties. 6. **Incorporating Green Bananas**: Delauer suggests adding green bananas or plantains to the diet. Their resistant starches fuel gut bacteria, leading to increased butyrate production and potentially reducing gut inflammation and immune response. 7. **Balanced Consumption**: Delauer recommends a balanced approach to consuming these foods, suggesting steamed broccoli every other day and small portions of green bananas to gradually improve gut health. 8. **Broccoli as a Maintenance Food**: Over time, broccoli can serve as a maintenance food for gut health, working in conjunction with other beneficial foods like green bananas.
Funny, I developed GI issues about ten years ago. I ended up falling into the habit of eating celery and avocado with my seafood (cuz it was mostly tuna salad), green plantains chips as snacks, and steamed broccoli with terrestrial meats. Green plantain chips are delicious dipped in guacamole, or tuna salad. I like to do avocado tuna salad with them.
Actually Tony Robbins talks about not just Broccoli but Broccoli sprouts in his book and how it helps deal with this stuff too. Broccoli sprouts are supposedly 50 times higher in benefits. I've been doing a lot of research on Cancer that's how I came across this stuff. The green banana thing I'll have to look more into it. But I do remember hearing some where that apparently in Japan eating green bananas is very common, so maybe my research will start there.

Thanks
Thank you!
I love broccoli, it goes well with lots of things. Also young broccoli sprouts are great to add to an salad.
i think sprouts are acually better than normal, steamed broccoli.
Makes sense now. Can't eat raw broccoli, but can eat it steamed. A staple in my diet

I'm surprised he didn't say the best thing for gut health isn't acv with the mom, kumbucha, or sauerkraut. 😮
I think ACV is a good idea if you have low stomach acid issues that make breaking down the food a problem.
Betaine HCL caps do that too.
If your going to eat broccoli, add mustard powder. It make the suphuraphan more avaliable.

Why don't just eat papaya, green banana, apples and green veggies , instead of taking some fancy supplements that don't have the same effects as natural food
Because papaya, green banana, apples, and green veggies aren’t sponsoring the channel…
Try to eat green bananas separately. Steam it after slicing it and sauté it in a bit of oil with preferred spice
I take my broccoli half cooked which I sautés with a little spice and salt. Delicious
Been eating both for many years
ok, ok...
so I eat the plantain raw?
Broccoli every other day and may be throw in a green banana slice. ✅
Or... You can lacto ferment your broccoli and get rid of most of the bad stuffs, and greatly increase all the good stuffs as well their absorbability.... Funnily, I've also been planning on doing this with green banana as well

Is broccoli beneficial for individuals with breast cancer? in context to estrogen? kindly advise. Thank you.
I love eating broccoli but it gives me constipation every time I eat it and gas
Broccoli doesn't come in a can. It's fresh or frozen.
The most powerful food that is best for the gut is MEAT.
What about green banana powder mixed in water?
Broccoli evolved from wild mustard. Broccoli is the flower.
I will not be doing the green banana part - all bananas make me constipated

Eating broccoli every other day seems rather boring and eating green bananas, no way José.
Food has to be tasty to eat, people are overcomplicating things with food.
Eating must be a pleasure for the senses besides being good for the gut and the microbiome.
MegaGenesis™ by Microbiome Labs contains the Limosilactobacillus reuteri PB-W1® strain isolated from a healthy Papua New Guinean adult. It was developed to increase the functional capacity of the gut microbiome with genes responsible for the metabolism of raffinose, lactose, and starch.
Why brocolli and not brocolli sprouts ...at least 10x more potent than its grownup ....brocolli.
THOMAS, I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT INFLAMATION THAT I NEED TO ASK, HOPING YOU OR SOMEONE CAN TRUTHFULLY ANSWER FOR ME THAT I CAN'T SEEM TO GET AN ANSWER TO . EVEN WHEN ASKING GOOGLE , AND CHAT GPT, I HAVE A FEW MEDICAL DOCTORS BUT THEY HAVEN'TRESPONDED BACK TO MY QUESTION...SO I'M ASKING YOU HOPEING YOU WILL ANSWER FOR ME..- IF SOMEONE HAS INFLAMATION IN THEIR JOINT , IS IT THE SAME AS INFLAMATION THAT AFFECTS THE LIVER , OR THE BRAIN , OR ANY OTHER PART OF THE BODY?
I don't complicate my self. I have kefir, I added some probiotics and now I have unlimited probiotics added with kefir. Then I ferment oatmeal whole not refined with kefir, I add inuline and potatoes resistent starch and I create butyrate and many great post biotics for sure babe use maybe in my stomach they don't reach to convert. That's something that feels so good in my stomach and for sure cleans my colon, it'd so therapeutic eat that.
the technical stuff is impressive because i don't have the vocabulary. i start off each day with a capsule of beyol-endol and a cup of black coffee.
🙋🏾 What happened in the blueberry group? Blueberry muffins are my “acceptable sweet” when I moving into a carb cutting phase.
This story versus eat 7 or 8 cups of vegies a day. Pfff.😂 Sounds like taking a risk not gaining health.
🥦🍫😋 *Brocolli 'n Chololate - Radio AAHS* 🎶
Its all a bit of an overload of information and it can be conflicting so im going carnivore it's simple and ive been convinced by the science ive heard keto has served me well but im going hardcore now at least for 3 months then ill decide if i need to reintroduce vegetables ill see the proof is in the pudding excuse the pun
Two minutes into the video before he says broccoli. Smh
broccoli is high on the fodmap
I love broccoli not so much green bananas as I don't eat bananas regularly anyways.
You really need to consider the negative effects of these high oxalate vegetables.
Now I'll listen to your video about the 9 nutrient dense foods that are better than broccoli
What about broccoli sprouts?
Key takeaways from Thomas Delauer's video "The Best Food for Gut Health is NOT Fiber, it’s THIS Vegetable (colon health)" include:
1. **Broccoli Over High-Fiber Vegetables**: Contrary to common belief, broccoli, rather than high-fiber vegetables, is highly beneficial for gut health, especially for those with gastrointestinal issues.
2. **Impact on Microbiome Diversity**: A study highlighted by Delauer shows that incorporating broccoli into the diet significantly enhances microbiome diversity and increases butyrate levels, which are crucial for colon health.
3. **Glucosinolates in Broccoli**: Broccoli contains glucosinolates, which convert into compounds like indol carbazol (ICZ) and indol 3 carbinol. These compounds help in detoxifying the gut and regulating estrogen metabolism.
4. **Broccoli's Toxin Removal Function**: ICZ in broccoli binds to receptors in the gut, triggering a response that aids in the removal of toxins, an essential function of the colon.
5. **Preparation Method Matters**: For those with gut issues, the way broccoli is prepared is important. Blanching or steaming broccoli can remove raffinose, a sugar that can cause digestive distress, while retaining its beneficial properties.
6. **Incorporating Green Bananas**: Delauer suggests adding green bananas or plantains to the diet. Their resistant starches fuel gut bacteria, leading to increased butyrate production and potentially reducing gut inflammation and immune response.
7. **Balanced Consumption**: Delauer recommends a balanced approach to consuming these foods, suggesting steamed broccoli every other day and small portions of green bananas to gradually improve gut health.
8. **Broccoli as a Maintenance Food**: Over time, broccoli can serve as a maintenance food for gut health, working in conjunction with other beneficial foods like green bananas.
Potato sorts my guts right out..
A month ago he put out a video titled "Better than Broccoli".?!?
Funny, I developed GI issues about ten years ago. I ended up falling into the habit of eating celery and avocado with my seafood (cuz it was mostly tuna salad), green plantains chips as snacks, and steamed broccoli with terrestrial meats.
Green plantain chips are delicious dipped in guacamole, or tuna salad. I like to do avocado tuna salad with them.
Is it the same as green plantain?
Yes
Yes
Yes
Are you talking about platan a vegie or green, unripe banana fruit?
Broccoli always gives me so much pain and bloating
How does the high sulfur
content interact specifically here.
Broccoli is great for the kidneys. Get organic.
When do you take the seed? Not during a fast correct?
I let broccoli 🥦 steam on my eggs. Delicious!
Wow gut health is the topic for 2024😂
Nice Go Ruck shirt!! If you know you know
It is one of the vegetables I can eat without issues. Interesting.
Actually Tony Robbins talks about not just Broccoli but Broccoli sprouts in his book and how it helps deal with this stuff too. Broccoli sprouts are supposedly 50 times higher in benefits. I've been doing a lot of research on Cancer that's how I came across this stuff. The green banana thing I'll have to look more into it. But I do remember hearing some where that apparently in Japan eating green bananas is very common, so maybe my research will start there.
How about Roasting and or sauteeing it
Use a little oil when roasting...
I add a separate bowl of water in the oven, so it doesn't get too dry...🎉
Can the green banana or plantain be cooked as well? Thank
No
Have you ever heard of chytosan?
So wait Broccoli isn't bad for you like Paul Saladino says?
I just made same comment before reading yours 😂
Please can you do a video on shakti matts? 😊
I am definitely going to try this,it looks so good.
Broccoli makes me bloated
Saladino said broccoli 🥦 is bad for people 😅
Well that’s a good reason to eat broccoli. “Flip-flopping” Saladino will change on that just give him a few weeks.
No comments yet? Wild.
For the algo 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Loving it.
