Interesting info !
I always like to stay up-to-date on the latest on the science of food. Something came through my literature feed this morning that caught my eye. It was on "extracellular vesicles" (EVs) in broccoli, which I had not previously heard much about. This emerging science reminds us that food is more than fuel: as we say in functional medicine, it’s information. I would also say it's communication: a direct beeline from nature to our cells.
While we’re still learning how food-derived EVs work in humans, it’s another reason to choose whole, vibrant, minimally-processed foods that nourish us on every level! We may be getting more in this format than we realize...
