#30: Rethinking Nutrition: The Plant Toxicity Debate with Dr. Anthony Chaffee
In the first part of our interview on the Sowing Prosperity podcast, host Logan Duvall speaks with Dr. Anthony Chaffee, a neurosurgeon and advocate of the carnivore diet. Dr. Chaffee delves into the controversial topic of plant toxicity and its defense mechanisms, discussing how plants produce toxins as a natural form of self-defense and the implications for human consumption.
He presents the argument that the rise of chronic diseases in modern society is closely linked to the increase in plant-based diets. Join us as we explore the historical evidence supporting meat-based diets and discuss human adaptation to these diets.
