Plant foods can be ranked on a spectrum of toxicity, from highly toxic lectins to less toxic options like non-sweet fruits and some tubers.

“i think of the least toxic plant foods as the non-sweet fruits what do i mean by that the non-super hybridized like very sweet fruit so this would exclude bananas exclude things like apples and oranges and include things like berries and squash and cucumber which are we think of as vegetables quote unquote but they're actually fruit right they have seeds they're fruit they're moving things around olives so that in my book i have this spectrum of plant toxicity and those are on the least toxic side”

“i think of the non-sweet fruits and berries as the least toxic plant foods and if you're including those in your diet those are probably in my opinion and i bet you share this opinion less likely to be toxic and less likely to be offensive to people”

“there's a spectrum of plant toxicity probably and if you're going to choose carbs choose good carbohydrates you know i would think of those as squash”
