Sulforaphane boosts detoxification of air pollutants benzene and acrolein | Rhonda Patrick

Recent clinical evidence suggests that sulforaphane can help the body to rapidly excrete potential cancer-causing compounds, such as benzene and acrolein, which are prevalent in air pollution and cigarette smoke. Sulforaphane activates Nrf2, a master regulatory gene that orchestrates the expression of protective proteins that aid the body in combating oxidative stress. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses the many ways in which sulforaphane aids the body in excreting harmful compounds.
