    I think it is meant to be satirical.:yawn:

    Thanks, professor!

    That's Dr. Professor to you! He didn't go to professor school for 7 years to be called just professor!

    D'oh! Sorry.

    Thanks, Dr. Professor! :drinker:


    ETA: That's coffee.

    Cauliflower contains the most bio-available L-Glutathione, which is amazing for skin. It has many different effects on the skin, all positive. It's one of the few foods that contain it.

    People pay a serious premium for it from health food stores and such, not realizing it can be eaten, and absorbed by your body easier than the pills.

    No, completely incorrect.

    1) Cauliflower and other vegetables from the same family contain cyanohydroxybutene which can enhance glutathione production in the liver (but wait for the kicker). The actual glutathione contained is mostly useless as it is not absorbed.

    Except - the dosage needed of CHB to enhance hepatic and pancreatic glutathione (GSH) is toxic. It is in excess of 200 gm/kg in rats. That is literally a bus load of Cauliflower in a human. At the dosage needed, it seems that tissue necrosis and hepatotoxicity are going to occur. So normally eating cauliflower does not significantly increase GSH.

    2) GSH is very important and is sufficiently produced by the body and not from ingested glutathione (which is poorly absorbed) - production may be influenced from the ingestion of precursor molecules.

    3) I would like to see evidence that GSH helps with skin tightness. I know it is used as a soap to white skin as it has a melanin inhibition effect. Do you have a study? If anything, a quick look at examine.com suggests that, for those that are interested, that GSH might be influenced by an Alpha Lipoic Acid, which is touted as having skin tightening effects (as a cream, can't remember?). But then we can go down the rabbithole of anti-aging stacks and their efficacy...

    4) If you are interested in food increased glutathione production then the things to eat are meats (raw) or whey for their cysteine content which is used by the body to produce GSH. Cooked cauliflower is next to useless as the glutathione is broken down. So if you are doping on cauliflower at least eat it raw, asparagus (again raw) ... or Spinach have a high content. BUT these sources are next to useless as the absorption in the gut is minimal and has been shown to NOT increase plasma GSH.

    Love the explanation!

    It doesn't hurt my feelings at all if you or anyone else believe I'm incorrect.

    I'll enjoy my healthy, tight, glowing skin while you shun cauliflower, and we'll all be happy and have exactly what we want.

    To be honest, I hate even telling other people some amazing info that I've spent years gathering, because I feel that because I worked hard and seeked far for bits of wisdom here and there, others should put forth the same effort to find answers, so I'm glad you're here dissuading others from trying it. Thank you! I'll keep the beautiful skin for myself.

    PS, things don't have to be scientifically proven to be true, some things have very little research available to even reference, and research and scientific opinion grows, develops and changes over time. We used to believe the world was flat, eh?

    :flowerforyou:

    I certainly hope you feelings aren't hurt. Information should be emotionally neutral but it does seem by your post that they are. If they weren't why even bring it up?

    A lot of this post comes off as reactive, passive-aggressive - now that people disagree with me I'll keep the info to myself? Sure?

    :flowerforyou: best of luck, not trying to knock your research, if you have it feel free to share it, or not and I'm not shunning cauliflower, I like it. Although I like it as cauliflower not fake pizza.

    My question RE brussel sprouts is, "What do they sprout into?" I've never seen a full-grown brussel.

    Don't they grow into cabbages?

    I hate how Cauliflower gets such a bad rap. It's so good for tightening up your skin as you lose. Everyone hates it, and it stinks when you cook it, sure, but there's a reason some people lose 100 lb and look great, and others need surgery for the excess skin. I'll keep my daily cauliflower, thanks.

    Edit: I'm out of practice

    It's okay, you get points just for using a David Tennant gif, really.

    I likes the Brussel Sprouts...tossed in olive oil and a packet of Italian Dressing mix...then roasted in the oven and splashed with lemon juice...I also like being able to run my entire family (including the dog) out of the room about an hour after eating them! Hello Skyrim...we are finally alone!!!

    Yea! Officially part of the 1.5%! Seriously though, I was the weird kid growing up that loved asparagus, brussel sprouts, lima beans and spinach (only fresh though).
