Since this article's dateline says "TOKYO" I am going to assume that this is real wasbi. Just a note to everyone out there thinking that they should eat more wasbi, unless you live in Japan, chances are slim that you have ever had real wasbi, what you have had is a dyed green horse radish paste.

0.8 milligrams of 6-MSITC and 14% higher than the placebo group is really good effect.

Unless it has been doctored:

"The Tohoku University study was published in the journal Nutrients. A wasabi company, Kinjirushi Co., provided funding"

of course:

"though the researchers say the company had no role in the study itself."

Yeah, right...
