Benzene is metabolized by the liver and excreted mostly through urine within 48 hours
Benzene is quickly metabolized by the liver and excreted through urine in approximately two days. Still, exposure to high doses may cause the metabolic detoxification pathways to become saturated. This can result in constantly having a certain level of benzene in your body, significantly increasing your risk of leukemia. However, benzene is usually converted to metabolites in the liver and bone marrow. Some of the negative consequences of benzene exposure are caused by these metabolites.
Luckily, as far as benzene detoxification is concerned, some foods are believed to help eliminate the hazardous chemical from the body, decreasing the chances of developing a serious disease such as leukemia. These foods, which contain the CYP2E 1 enzyme, sulfation, and glutathione, were found to help with benzene detox:
- cow liver and brain
- salmon
- eggs
- chicken
- tuna
- broccoli
- carrots
- tomatoes
A clinical trial suggests that compounds in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and kale produce cells that can help eliminate certain air pollutants. The intriguing study focused on 300 Chinese adults exposed to benzene and acrolein. They drank a beverage made with broccoli sprouts every day for 3 months, leading to high excretion rates in the urine of the two harmful chemicals. Among the people consuming the broccoli sprout beverage, the rate of benzene excretion increased by 61% throughout the duration of the clinical trial.
