Also, some links on broccoli sprouts (among other cruciferous vegetables).

Johns Hopkins started a study on broccoli sprouts.
Apparently the results were so *GOOD* that they cancelled the study and commercialized a product based on it.

Here’s some links on broccoli sprouts / sulfaphoranes:

The presence of sulforaphanes brings up the cytochrome P450, and therefore, the next link,

the Flockhart table of drug interactions from Indiana University:

Also, according to WebMD, sulforaphanes may slow down the liver’s breakdown of certain drugs, hence the

drug interaction precautions.

Medications changed by the liver (Cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) substrates) interacts with SULFORAPHANE
Some medications are changed and broken down by the liver.
Sulforaphane might decrease how quickly the liver breaks down some medications. Taking sulforaphane along with some medications that are changed by the liver might increase the effects and side effects of some medications. Before taking sulforaphane talk to your healthcare provider if you take any medications that are changed by the liver.
Some medications that are changed by the liver include clozapine (Clozaril), cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril), fluvoxamine (Luvox), haloperidol (Haldol), imipramine (Tofranil), mexiletine (Mexitil), olanzapine (Zyprexa), pentazocine (Talwin), propranolol (Inderal), tacrine (Cognex), theophylline, zileuton (Zyflo), zolmitriptan (Zomig), and others.

Here’s a link on broccoli sprouts and autism (a double-blind study) which I found along the way

and (I think) a link to the study

Here’s a link to a clinical trial on broccoli sprouts and breast cancer:

Couldn’t find anything on cruciferous vegetables & thyroid except if you eat six pounds of bok choy in one day.

Best wishes & prayers for all concerned.
