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.
as i've talked about fruit is a totally different situation and generally the plants are not putting a lot of defense chemicals in fruit there are a few fruits out there that are actually poisonous for humans but the majority of fruit is meant to be eaten by animals and can be eaten by homo sapiens as a species
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.
understanding that if you're not thriving cut kale out of your diet cut broccoli out of your diet you'll do so much better now it's not saying that one diet is going to be perfect for all humans that humans should eat meat and liver and strawberries that's not going to work for everyone some people may not respond well to strawberries some people respond poorly even the citrus which is a fruit
generally plants are not making as many of these defense molecules that are intended to inhibit or cause problems in our biochemistry in fruit
if you think like a plant if you consider what a plant is trying to do it is going to put defense chemicals in the leaves it is going to put defense chemicals in the stems and it is certainly going to put defense chemicals in the roots or in the seeds which are the plant babies
fruit is clearly the least defended part of a plant okay that's going to be the first thing i'm going to try so i reintroduced things like strawberries and i started with honey because honey is made by bees there's no real defense chemicals in honey you could even argue that honey is an animal food so i reintroduced honey i reintroduced fruit in my diet
plants decrease the amount of defense chemicals in fruit as it ripens because they don't want an animal to eat the fruit before it's ripe because when the fruit is ripe the seeds are ready inside the plant is putting a lot of energy into that fruit to prepare those seeds to germinate
Plants do want you to eat the fruit to move the seeds to the next generation, but they don't want you to destroy the seeds in the process. They definitely don't want you to eat the leaves or the stems or the roots because those are necessary to make the seeds as well.
as fruit ripens the amount of defense chemicals in the fruit decrease
we know that fruit has less defense chemicals as it ripens
the plants want you to eat it and they withdraw their chemical defenses when the fruit is ripe
I have just found and intuitively and based on the literature I think that fruit is the least defendant part of plants and it's likely going to have less of these defense chemicals which is the whole reason I got interested in keto and carnivore in the first place
I think that fruit is the least defendant part of plants and it's likely going to have less of these defense chemicals
