(4 mins) Transcript. Dr Greger's summary: "How do canned versus germinated beans (such as sprouted lentils) compare when it comes to protecting brain cells and destroying melanoma, kidney, and breast cancer cells."

(1 min) Transcript. An insightful video: Sprouted grains and lentils have much higher antioxidant power! Many of the sprouts have 2x to 20x the amount of antioxidants as compared with raw seeds.

(5 mins) Transcript. The latter half of this video explores the possibility of improving upon the antioxidant power of bean sprouts by subjecting them to environmental stressors like radiation, heat and cold. For example, does antioxidant power in beans go up by storing them in fridge (4C) for an hour? How about exposure to sun for some time? Or how about simply storing sprouted beans in fridge after 2 to 4 days (after they have sprouted, like some of us do)?

Video summary:

Dr Klaper also mentions that beans should be allowed to sprout to a good 2 to 4 inches long. We should not be in a hurry to eat beans soon after they sprout a little bit; we should let their tails grow longer. This allows enzyme inhibitors like trypsin to reduce.
