Simon, thank you for another excellent interview. I’m a retired internist, plant based for over ten years, have read 50+books on the subject and continue to follow as many podcasts as possible Your book was well written and edited and demonstrated your comprehensive, conscientious approach to learning and teaching that is top notch in its open mindedness with a very knowledgeable background. Best wishes for your continued success.
Our N of 2 is that cooked cruciferous vegetables didn't alleviate histamine linked symptoms of either IBS or IC, but after eating raw sprouts either pea sprouts or cruciferous vegetables allowed us to eat vinegar, tomatoes, etc. without ill effect.
@@k.h.6991 We noticed a turnaround immediately from vinegar not being tolerated without DAO or sprouts to being able to eat salad with vinegar and sprouts or by taking DAO about 15 minutes beforehand.

We are so glad we found this channel! Jed Fahey is amazing too. If you can get him back, please do. Happy New Year, and we are passing the word about this channel!
Great respect for Dr Fahey. Have been eating broccoli sprouts for last 2 years for my autism. Vast improvement in sensory issues and anxiety levels. Can't recommend it enough.
@@TheProofWithSimonHill I think it was 2007 or 2008 I ate a broccoli sprout salad for lunch got on the bus to go home I barely made it I got off early and went and hung onto a fence on the sidewalk and vomited violently I have no idea what the problem was I think they were too hot for me or something too much cruciferous. The only other thing I ever had trouble with is green tea it would make me very nauseous. This year I'm adding a little sugar which seems like it just takes away from the value of the tea but it's settling much better and I'm drinking it daily
@@inca3370 yes the heads of the broccoli have so many Little Flower thing I'm sure it might be difficult to wash properly if somebody working in the fields peed on it or what have you
Is it possible that broccoli sprouts were not the only sprouts in your salad? Many packaged sprout mixes include alfafa sprouts, which are a no-go for people with autoimmune issues. @@deadmanswife3625
I add sweetness to my coffee and tea (2 drops Now stevia extract). I have tried eliminating the sweetner, but then my beverage sits in my stomach like a brick. 🤢
Thank you for sharing your conversation with Dr. Jed Fahey! I am so much clearer about the benefits of phytonutrients, particularly sulforaphane, and how best to incorporate into my diet. I love broccoli but have yet to try the sprouts.
Glad to hear that our microbiome can create the active nutrients that make broccoli (and I guess other cruciferous vegetables) so healthy. That makes sense, because just cooking them is the default preparation method, so any health benefits on a population level can hardly have relied on the cut and wait or the mustard powder tricks. A follow up episode that looks more closely at dietary consequences would be great.
Awsome bud all so true. Thanks for telling the truth. You guys rock. I'm 52 and weigh 160 and started at 225lbs. I don't fit any of my clothes now. All my pants are too big I have to use a belt to make them fit. I'm soo blessed to hear this 10 years ago and listened to it to the t.
One of the messages I get from this discussion is to look east and see what they've been eating for thousands of years, which is a much more diverse set of foods, in both source and preparation, than we typically eat in the west. This seems a good short-term plan because with possibly millions of phytochemicals, it will take science billions of years to do RCTs on them all.😀
I finally finished listening to this one earlier today and had to come drop a line - so much of what he said was fascinating or funny, a great conversation to listen to. It took me so long to get through it because I kept stopping to look things up or type something to look into later or tell someone about. I may watch this one again looking for visuals.
Great work Simon. Super interesting. I was waiting for you to ask the question about broccoli affecting the Thyroid. Super pleased with knowing I’m all good. I only ever buy organic broccoli because it’s one of the most sprayed veggies. Bring on the broccoli 🥦✌️💥🌈😊🌱🌏
It's great to finally be able to watch your interviews. A good takeaway. 60g of broccoli sprouted every day or every other day. Any tips about which day during the sprouted phase is optimal to consume it? Tks Best of luck with your new podcasts! More plants🌱
@@TheProofWithSimonHill yes for sure… I am a big eater of plants.. but I also study Epigenetics with Dr.Aronica so I mean any discussion around photochemicals or Epigenetics is awesome…
Another great episode. Thanks. listening to the section about supplements and asd made me think of the work of Julia Rucklidge in New Zealand. Have you come across her research? might be an interesting person to interview in the future.
Thank you both. This was fascinating. I would love to see this topic extended into the biofortification of plant cultivars (both GM & conventional breeding), the pros & cons to human health. Eg, pro-vitamin A rice & banana cultivars, high oleic sunflower seeds & peanuts, low GI potatoes & rice, high anthocyanin plums, potatoes, etc. Plus it would be interesting to look further into the macro & micro nutritional differences between specific fruit & veg cultivars, & whether selection for specific traits has had an impact on phytochemicals. Eg, it might not actually be a difference between sugar content of fruit as to perception of sweetness, but that other flavour traits like tanginess, bitterness, acidity, tannins, pectin etc have been reduced &/or bred out (eg grapes, papayas, apples, etc). What impact on phytochemicals does this have to human health?
And the discussion on plant evolutionary benefits of specific phytochemicals (eg targeted against predation) got me thinking. Often plant fruit adaptations are around seed dispersal, therefore not necessarily around the fruit predation, but definitely against seed predation. Eg, amygdalin (cyanide) content in Stone fruit seeds but not the fruit, etc.
@@TheProofWithSimonHill it just baffles me that people so underestimate the power of real food !!! The discussions are so focussed on a reductionist theories and we forget that our bodies work as a unit. Feed it well and your unit will reward you. I have eaten this way since 2007 and so enjoy it.
Hey Simon. Great episode! Why do you have a one-hour-long video in your shorts playlist? I don’t know about you, but I don’t have that much time to call one hour short 😂
If you are reading this, I need help with figuring the brand of supplements that don't mislead people about their supplements. A brand that has no chemicals and fillers. If you can help me with this, please send me a message. Sometimes, I don't eat the best in regards to meeting my nutritional intake. I eat healthy.

Dr Fahey is the reason I started eating broccoli sprouts
Our N of 2 is that cooked cruciferous vegetables didn't alleviate histamine linked symptoms of either IBS or IC, but after eating raw sprouts either pea sprouts or cruciferous vegetables allowed us to eat vinegar, tomatoes, etc. without ill effect.
I would guess that this is a microbiome effect.!

great interview but going back and forth between screens was a little distracting...enjoyed the side by side format...

Rhonda Patrick’s video goes over the study on exact dosages. The studies do between 10 and 60mg of sulforphane.
His thyroid take was unconvincing.
