Least toxic plant foods: fruit & honey, including things like berries, avocado, squash, olives, etc.. Think of sweet and non sweet fruit.
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.
I would say the least toxic foods in my opinion are probably the non starchy fruits things like avocado and olives you know plants don't really put the same defense mechanisms into the fruit that they do into other parts of the plant
so what are the least toxic plants I would think of those as things like berries and non sweet fruits things like avocado olives yeah I'll have a little bit of oxalate but it's not that much avocado have salicylates they can still trigger some people but I think they're fairly benign on the scale and I would also put squash on that non toxic end of the spectrum
in terms of least toxic plant foods which is really the question that everybody wants to know i'm thinking of fruit i'm thinking of fruit and honey and the fruit can be a variety of things whatever you like maybe eat it seasonally maybe not see how your body does or what about non-sweet fruit avocado olives maybe or squash i like to pressure cook it to get rid of anything that might be in there that's not going to play with my body very well
the least toxic are avocados berries squash cucumbers apples oranges olives honey dates these are all fruit sweet and non-sweet fruit these are the types of plants plant foods that plants are really not as worried about you eating
