Similar Assertions

When good bacteria are added to adzuki bean sprouts, their ability to stop cancer cell growth at high doses becomes weaker than when no bacteria are added.

86%

Adding good bacteria to mung bean sprouts makes their digested juice much better at neutralizing two types of harmful free radicals—by nearly a third for one and nearly a fifth for the other.

77%

Adding good bacteria to mung bean sprouts before digestion makes the final digested juice contain about 18% more plant chemicals known to have biological effects.

72%

Adding good bacteria to adzuki bean sprouts doesn’t change the total amount of plant chemicals in the final digested juice—it stays about the same.

71%

The digested juice from adzuki bean sprouts is better at neutralizing certain free radicals and preventing fat damage than the juice from mung bean sprouts.
