PLANT PARADOX: How Fruits and Vegetables May Be Harming Your Health
The Shocking Truth About the Hidden Dangers in Plant-Based Foods
We've been told our entire lives that fruits and vegetables are the key to good health. We've been urged to eat our "five a day," warned about the dangers of meat, and sold the promise that a plant-based diet is the secret to longevity. But what if everything we've been told is wrong?
In Plant Paradox, you'll uncover the shocking, hidden truth about the very foods you thought were nourishing your body. From toxic defence chemicals that plants use to ward off predators to gut-damaging antinutrients like lectins, oxalates, and phytates that silently wreak havoc on your health, this book exposes the dark side of plant foods that the health industry doesn't want you to know.
Did you know that so-called "superfoods" like spinach and kale could be contributing to kidney stones and joint pain? That whole grains and legumes may be stripping your body of essential nutrients? That fruit-often marketed as nature's candy-can fuel insulin resistance and metabolic disease?
It's time to challenge everything you thought you knew about nutrition. Backed by science and evolutionary insights, Plant Paradox explores how humans evolved to thrive on animal-based foods, and why reducing your plant food intake could be the key to better digestion, sharper mental clarity, and optimal health.
Are plants really trying to kill you? The answer may shock you. But once you know the truth, you'll never look at a plate of vegetables the same way again.
