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.
