I’ve edited the title because the original is clickbait, and in the spirit of this community I’d like to avoid all forms of engagement farming.

• Plants and Evolutionary Arms Race: Plants and animals are in an evolutionary arms race, with plants becoming more poisonous to deter animals from eating them, while animals adapt to specific plant poisons.
• Natural Carcinogens in Plants: Over 20 years ago, it was known that many plants contain numerous natural carcinogens, with some vegetables like Brussels sprouts, mushrooms, spinach, and kale containing over 100 known human carcinogens.
• Natural vs. Industrial Pesticides: A study found that naturally occurring pesticides in plants are far more abundant and more likely to cause cancer than industrial pesticides.
• Lectins and Their Harm: Lectins, carbohydrate-based proteins found in most plants, can cause significant harm by binding to insulin receptors, leading to weight gain, leptin resistance, and other health issues.
• Gluten and Leaky Gut: Gluten can cause leaky gut, allowing harmful substances like lectins to enter the body and cause inflammation and other health problems.
• Molecular Mimicry and Autoimmunity: Lectins can trigger molecular mimicry, leading to autoimmune diseases where the body attacks its own tissues.
• Nightshades and Toxins: Nightshade plants like potatoes, tomatoes, and eggplants produce solanine, a deadly poison. Improper storage or preparation can lead to poisoning.
• Cyanogenic Foods: Some plants, like cassava and almonds, contain cyanide, which can be deadly if not properly prepared or consumed in large quantities.
• Photosensitizers: Certain plants can make the skin more sensitive to light, leading to severe burns and other health issues.
• Nutrient Blockers: Plants contain compounds that can block the absorption of nutrients, making plant-based proteins and other nutrients less bioavailable than those from animal sources.
• Benefits of a Carnivore Diet: Dr. Chaffee and others have experienced significant health improvements, including weight loss, reduced inflammation, and reversal of autoimmune diseases, by adopting a carnivore diet and eliminating plants.
• Importance of Trying a Carnivore Diet: Dr. Chaffee encourages everyone to try a strict carnivore diet for at least a month to experience the benefits and decide if it’s the right way of eating for them.
