Fascinating!

Crushing or chopping garlic and letting them sit a few minutes releases antiplatelet enzymes that help prevent coronary artery blockages. But whole garlic cloves, once they’ve been cooked offer no heart benefit at all. Neither does garlic that’s been microwaved. ⁣⁣

A similar phenomenon occurs with broccoli. Studies show that chopping it up, then letting it sit for 40 minutes before cooking, releases the cancer-fighting compound sulforaphane, which would otherwise have been destroyed by cooking. Using precut, frozen raw broccoli is just as beneficial. ⁣

I would like to ask why they decided to go against the recommendation of their own scientific advisory panel to improve health guidelines? 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

“The scientific committee, which was composed of 20 academics and doctors, had recommended cutting the limit for added sugars in the diet to 6% of daily calories from 10% in the current guidelines, citing rising rates of obesity and the link between obesity and health problems like Type 2 diabetes, heart disease and cancer.”

A scientific advisory committee had advised lower limits on sugar and alcohol, citing health risks.
