Plant Paradox, Greenwashing, and Jeopardy!

No BS Nutrition

Join Hannah and Tareq for the pre-season finale episode about all things green (and yellow, red, orange, etc.). They address the murky folklore and fake science smatterings about The Plant Paradox Diet and its main enemy: lectins. They're a protein found in many fruits, vegetables, and dairy products but why do lectins get such a bad wrap? Are they really toxic? What are the actual documented adverse effects some people seem to go on about? Tareq and Hannah break it down. BS of the Week: Greenwashing.
