Plants contain toxins that can be harmful to humans. These toxins are produced by plants as a defense mechanism against predators. Consuming these plants or their seeds over long periods of time or in large amounts can have negative effects on our health.
Lectins are one example of a toxin found in plants. Lectins are proteins that can bind to carbohydrates, and they are found in many plants, including beans, legumes, and grains. Consuming large amounts of lectins can cause digestive problems and even lead to damage to the lining of the intestines. It can also cause inflammation, which is the root of most autoimmune conditions.
Phytic acid is another example of a toxin found in plants. It is found in the outer layer of seeds and grains and can bind to important minerals like iron, calcium, and zinc, making them unavailable for absorption in the body. This can lead to nutrient deficiencies if these foods make up a significant portion of the diet.
Other plant toxins include alkaloids, glycosides, and saponins, which can have a range of effects on the body, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bloating and other gastrointestinal issues
Now with that being said, go enjoy a nice steak 😋🥩
