In addition to being full of digestive enzyme inhibitors, lectins, phytates, and oxalates, many plant seeds are also quite high in linoleic acid, an omega-6 PUFA which appears to be signaling your fat cells to grow.

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
except plants have packaged around maybe moses a bunch of chemical ninjas a bunch of digestive enzyme inhibitors bust of oxalates and phytic acid a bunch of toxins to prevent animals from over consuming plant seeds
in the case of beans the defense chemicals include things like phytic acid which prevents the absorption of minerals digestive enzyme inhibitors and lectins
it's the future of the trees if they weren't the trees would be extinct any tree who made a lovely nut that didn't harm anything is no longer with us
Plants make phytic acid to steal our minerals so we won't eat the plants.
plants make phytic acid to steal our minerals so we won't eat the plants and if we do we'll get weak we won't reproduce and then the plants can win
You have lectins you have oxalates you have digestive enzyme Inhibitors these are all the defense chemicals that occur in those kind of vegetable foods
