EAT WELL -- BE WELL -- STAY WELL

Dear Friends,

Welcome to jedfahey.com, my updated repository for scientific papers, podcasts, and research news.  I have now retired from full-time engagement at Johns Hopkins University and my mission statement reflects the message that I hope to continue to promote: Eat Well - Be Well - Stay Well.

The Cullman Chemoprotection Center still exists.  Although our clinical and outreach efforts continue in a modified form, we are no longer conducting laboratory work.  Many people have asked me to keep the Chemoprotection Center website up, which I will do, but newsletters will now be coming from my personal website (jedfahey.com).

I hope you will subscribe to jedfahey.com.  This will allow me to continue communicating with you.  I will strive to keep you informed of the latest developments in chemoprotection (using phytochemistry to enhance healthspan). 

Thank you for your support over the years.

The Latest News

The following announcement about The Drs. Paul & Pamela Talalay Professorship was recently released by the Pharmacology Department at Johns Hopkins University.  In honor of these extraordinarily productive, and compassionate human beings, the Professorship will facilitate urgently needed research and the training of new generations of talented scientists.

FoundMyFitness (FMF), whose popular podcast and website features Dr. Rhonda Patrick, just circulated a newsletter to all FMF subscribers.  The FMF newsletter showcases work that I recently published with long-time colleagues, as well as four interview segments between Rhonda and me, in their Premium Members Podcasts.

Hello, friends!

A little news from the broccoli sprouting world. Dr. Jed Fahey (@jedosan on Twitter) and his long-time colleague, Dr. Tom Kensler, have published a brand-new peer-reviewed open access journal article about the science of broccoli sprouts. You may know Dr. Fahey from his appearances on the podcast, where he's shared his unique expertise on the biology of sulforaphane and broccoli sprouts. In this article, Drs. Fahey and Kensler tell the tale of how broccoli sprouts came to the attention of the nutrition world and acknowledge sulforaphane's potential,

"…not only in the prevention of environmental carcinogenesis, but in the prevention or amelioration of a very large, diverse, and seemingly unrelated series of conditions [including] autism spectrum disorder (ASD), schizophrenia, bacterial and viral infections, prostate, lung, breast, skin, and head and neck cancers, osteoarthritis, type 2 diabetes, sickle cell disease, fatty liver, and asthma."

Drs. Fahey and Kensler also describe some of the science surrounding broccoli sprouts and posit that broccoli sprouts offer a means to "re-invent" the current healthcare paradigm, with a focus on prevention and strategies that extend healthspan.

This article – available to all via open access – is focused on the unique considerations of trial design related to broccoli sprouts and their phytochemicals and should be a great boon to clinical investigators hoping to continue to expand similar work.

A big thank you to Dr. Fahey and Dr. Kensler for their continued contributions to the world of science, including this report on phytochemicals. Several episodes of our members-only podcast, The Aliquot, feature Dr. Fahey with extra commentary from Rhonda. Check out these four episodes of The Aliquot to learn more:

Aliquot #13: Sulforaphane from broccoli sprouts versus supplements

Aliquot #12: Food prep techniques that alter sulforaphane production in broccoli sprouts

Aliquot #10: Unconventional effects of sulforaphane on human health: Part I

Aliquot #9: Sulforaphane: Discovery, research, and health effects
