Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.

Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
I believe that vegetables are not great for humans they're highly defended these are the parts plants don't want us to eat in contrast to their fruit which is sweet and colorful and that it contains defense chemicals which are not great for all people some people tolerate don't seem to have major problems with it
If you have health issues, sometimes it's worth reducing your your vegetables a little bit to see if some of those defense chemicals and vegetables are causing issues for you.
Vegetables definitely have more defense chemicals than fruit. As fruit ripens, the defense chemicals go down. I think some of us, not everyone, some of us are uniquely sensitive to the defense chemicals in vegetables and eliminating those can improve gut issues, IBS, for some people even IBD like Crohn's or ulcerative colitis.
