Anti-Nutrients and Plant Toxins: The Truth About Lectins, Phytates, Oxalates, and More...

PLANTS ARE KILLING YOU AND SUCKING NUTRIENTS FROM YOUR BODY!! This is a common claim among "animal-based" diet proponents and it has caused a lot of confusion for people.

So on this episode of the show I want to discuss the topic of anti-nutrients and toxic substances found in plant foods. In this episode we discuss

-What the different compounds are that are classified as "plant toxins"
-What foods these foods are found in
-How to reduce our exposure to these compuonds when appropriate
-How the fear-mongering around these compounds is harming poeple

And more.


Here are two papers outlining these topic in a lot more detail if you want to learn more.
