Isothiocyanates from raw kale can epigenetically turn off phase one biotransformation enzymes and turn on phase two detoxification enzymes.

“isothiocyanates are able to epigenetically turn genes on and turn genes off they turn off bad genes beat genes that are called phase one biotransformation enzymes these enzymes are responsible for taking a pro carcinogen and converting it into a full-blown carcinogen in the body so isothiocyanates turn those off I've said iodine it's also turn on good genes they turn on genes that are called Phase two detoxification enzymes these are a whole host of enzymes that are antioxidant enzymes and anti-inflammatory related genes and so Isis iodine in turn these on and this is one of the ways in which isothiocyanates are also known to kill cancer cells because they prevent DNA damage and they also activate tumor suppressor genes which kill cancer cells”
