Metabolic derivatives of glucosinolates are among the most
important bioactive components in brassicas found that enzymatic GLS metabolites reduce the risk of cancer. Some of the products derived from thioglycoside decomposition
show antibacterial and antifungal properties also reducing the incidence of some types of cancer without any genotoxic risk at normal consumption levels However, over-consumption of vegetables
rich in glucosinolates may have undesirable effects, such as
impairment of iodine absorption by the thyroid gland Adequate
iodine intake reduces the goitregenic activity of products derived
from GLS decomposition
