I think we have to look at them as a net benefit well they have to we have to really prove a net benefit in the human body and I don't believe that so forth pain is net beneficial I would argue that it's net toxic
We can't find evidence that holds up here. Proponents are reasoning from mechanism or analogy rather than direct human data, and the most credible skeptics raise objections we can't dismiss.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
I don't think there's a benefit to these Inhumans and a lot of the time we're cooking them which may degrade some of these fermentation of these plants will degrade the glucosinolates which were the precursors like glucoraphanin for sulforaphane
these are plant defense chemicals very clearly we are all wrong in thinking these chemicals are good for us i think that we have forgotten about the intrinsic side effects of these exogenous molecules and over celebrated their benefits which are often redundant if we are doing things like environmental hormesis heat cold exercise sunlight which appear to give us plenty of glutathione
taking a whole bunch of sulforaphane makes zero sense it's clearly a plant defense chemical
Well, nobody's talking about the side effects of sulforaphane. Nobody's talking about the side effects of curcumin. Nobody's talking about the side effects of resveratrol. Those are the things I've tried to highlight in my work because they are plant chemicals.
why do we give vegetable chemicals plant defense chemicals like isothiocyanate sulforaphane Etc a pass and ignore the side effects of those medications which are prominent and negative in humans
why do we give vegetable chemicals plant defense chemicals like isothiocyanate sulforaphane Etc a pass and ignore the side effects of those medications which are prominent and negative in humans focusing only on the demonstrated positive benefits when we look with myopic research blinders
why dismissing benefits of plants because of their insect antifeedants (including sulforaphane) is, frankly, stupid.
