It is possible that we as human beings will be ingesting toxins through the food chain at some stage or other in our lives.

If you are drinking chlorinated water, you’re already consuming toxins on a regular basis. Glutathione’s ability to improve your longevity and overall health comes from its role in detoxifying various chemicals, thereby preventing them from damaging your cellular DNA. When you increase glutathione, you in turn increase GST enzymes.

Glutathione levels can be raised by eating brussel sprouts, cauliflower, brocolli (flowers not the stem), cabbage, kale, bok choy, cress, mustard, horseradish, turnips, rutabags and kohlrabi.
