Well SupportedAn animal-based diet, consisting of organs, grass-fed meat, fruit, honey, and raw dairy, is considered evolutionarily consistent and nutrient-rich.Well SupportedIndividuals with thyroid issues may need to limit cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and kale.Not SupportedPhytochemicals found in plants are not true nutrients because they do not serve an indispensable or necessary role in the human body, unlike vitamins or minerals.Well SupportedTwo cups of spinach contain approximately 450mg of oxalates, which can interfere with nutrient absorption.Well Supported

Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

An animal-based diet, consisting of meat, organs, and the least toxic plant foods while excluding vegetables, is hypothesized to be beneficial for autoimmune disease.

Not SupportedWestern medicine often fails to appreciate the profound impact of food on inflammatory, autoimmune, dermatological, and psychiatric diseases.

Well SupportedEliminating nightshades like tomatoes, potatoes, and eggplants may benefit individuals with autoimmune conditions.

Well SupportedIndividuals with autoimmune disease should consider their food intake, as some vegetables contain defense chemicals that can cause issues.

Well SupportedAlfalfa contains phytolectins and non-protein amino acids, which can lead to a lupus-like syndrome in humans when consumed in excess.

Well SupportedEliminating seed oils and processed sugars is the first step in an animal-based approach to health.

Well SupportedEliminating all beans, seeds, nuts, roots, and grains is recommended for individuals with autoimmune conditions.

Partially SupportedEliminating gluten from wheat may be a beneficial first step for individuals with autoimmune conditions because gluten is a lectin.

Not SupportedThe negative effects of phytochemicals like turmeric and resveratrol are often ignored in favor of perceived benefits.

Partially SupportedMedical doctors rarely suggest that vegetables containing plant defense chemicals could cause health problems.

Partially SupportedPhytoestrogens, such as xenoestrogens and phaseolin, are present in soybeans and beans.

Partially SupportedCelery contains nitrates and sorolins, which may lead to photosensitivity.

Not SupportedThe perceived benefits of many phytochemicals are based on a myopic view of research, ignoring potential negative side effects.

Partially SupportedAmylase inhibitors, arsenic, and solanine in baked potatoes are digestive enzyme inhibitors and defense chemicals.

Partially SupportedCooked turkey can contain heterocyclic amines and malondialdehyde.

Not SupportedKale contains isothiocyanates like sulforaphane, which are negative for the thyroid and humans.

Partially SupportedCyanogen glycosides in lima beans and sweet potatoes act as defense chemicals.

Partially SupportedAflatoxins from mold in nuts are a health concern.

Partially SupportedNaturally occurring chemicals in fruits are found in much lower concentrations than in vegetables.

Partially SupportedPlants concentrate defense chemicals in their leaves, stems, roots, and seeds.

Partially SupportedThe potential benefits of minerals and trace nutrients in fruits outweigh the harms of plant defense chemicals.

Partially SupportedLima beans contain cyanogen glycosides; broccoli contains isothiocyanate, glucosinolates, goitrin, and nitrates; potatoes contain amylase inhibitors, arsenic, chocolatine, and solanine.

Partially SupportedSweet potatoes contain cyanogenic glycosides and furan derivatives.

Partially SupportedCherry tomatoes contain tomatine and glycosides.

Partially SupportedEliminating soy may help with autoimmune conditions.

Partially SupportedCoffee and tea contain digestive enzyme inhibitors such as benzoa pyrene, acrylamide, chlorogenic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and tannins.

Partially SupportedBeans contain phaseoline, lectins, and digestive enzyme inhibitors.

Partially SupportedPeas contain cinnamyl phenols and 2-methoxy-4-methylphenol.
