The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

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.

so vein is a pro-oxidant meaning it steals electrons from other molecules well when it comes into our body we try to detoxify it very quickly the little bit that circulates goes around and steals electrons from the molecules creating free radicals and activating antioxidant response elements in our dna
the way that sulforaphane increases your glutathione is by being a little bit of a pro-oxidant we've heard that these things are antioxidants but they're pro-oxidants acutely meaning they cause oxidative stress and then your body has this incredible ability to respond to it
but are we sure that that dna damage is is something that we're going to have if we don't have sulforaphane in our diet right so that's the question because there's a lot of ways that you can trigger an rf2 system and there's other studies on the other side that suggest that you know generally antioxidants don't prevent dna damage for humans and that the endogenous mechanisms glutathione superoxide reductase yada yada yada are pretty good if you're a healthy human
