In this episode, we tackle one of the most absurd trends in modern nutrition: the idea that vegetables are toxic. From oxalates to lectins to nightshades, influencers have turned normal, nutrient-dense foods into villains...but the science tells a very different story.

We break down what large-scale human data actually say about vegetables, disease risk, and longevity, and dig into where the fear-based narratives about spinach, beans, and tomatoes come from. You'll learn the real context behind oxalates and kidney stones, the truth about lectins and gut health, and why personalization beats fear every single time.

The bottom line? The problem isn't broccoli, it's bad science communication. If you care about evidence-based nutrition, this episode will remind you why simplicity still wins and why “boring” habits like eating your vegetables remain some of the highest-ROI moves for your long-term health.
