Modern domesticated plants may lead to overconsumption of toxins due to a lack of dietary diversity compared to ancestral diets.

“we really can't do that as humans we've lost the knowledge and we don't have the amount of biodiversity around us to go hunt and gather these things anymore either”

“if plants are toxic then why can some animals eat them and if you look at the zoologic literature what you quickly realize is that there are unique adaptations in many animals specifically ruminants or even monogastrics like rabbits etc to these plant compounds”

“humans i believe are not as good at detoxifying plants because we haven't been eating them as the majority of our diet for the last three million years like an herbivore has we've sort of lost this knowledge”

“but with our quote domesticated you know selection of plants in the grocery store i think for a lot of us we are overeating many of these plants and perhaps getting levels of these toxins that are harming us”

“with enzymatic systems that are actually evolutionarily adapted to these molecules rather than our evolutionary system which we don't really know if it's that adapted these chemicals because we haven't been seeking them out as primary herbivores for two to four million years of hominid evolution”
