So far, we’ve dealt with two of more than a dozen antinutrients and defense chemicals found in plant ‘foods’ that we will cover in this article series. Next on the list is deuterium, a compound that most dieticians, nutritionists, doctors and clueless trainers don’t even know exists. Hydrogen comes in two “shapes”: we have regular hydrogen, which is actually called protium, and then we have deuterium. Deuterium has the same properties as hydrogen, except […]
Goitrogens are a number of chemical agents that come in various forms. You’ll find them in antibiotics, plastics, pesticides, NSAIDs, environment pollution, and in some plant-foods. Actually, all goitrogens are derived from naturally occurring plant pesticides called glucosinolates. Plants have three main types of goitrogens; goitrins, thiocyanates, and flavonoids. Goitrin is the result of the enzymatic breakdown of the glucosinolate called progoitrin. It targets thyroid peroxidase (TPO), which is an enzyme found in the
In this part of covering all the toxic plant chemicals, we will look at phytic acid; one of the few antinutrients that at least some people actually know exists. While it fades in comparison with some other plant defense toxins, it’s still a very serious and dangerous one. As with all antinutrients, they are simply chemicals that bind to nutrients that the plant, or seed, need in order to grow. Phytic acid is no
Saponins are antinutrients that belong to a class of defense chemicals found in abundance in certain plants. They are also known as ‘amphipathic glycosides’ from the soap-like foam they produce when shaken in watery solutions – and the fact that they are used as a model for detergents. The latter is very disturbing, and we’ll get to it in a moment. Saponins have a water-soluble carbohydrate bonded to a fat-soluble triterpene or steroid structure.
In our last post, we looked at the dangerous lectins. Another very sinister defense mechanism in plants are oxalates (oxalic acid). The definition of oxalic acid is “a poisonous strong acid (COOH) that occurs in various plants as oxalates and is used especially as a bleaching or cleaning agent and as a chemical intermediate”.Oxalic acid is actually lethal in high doses. There have been a few recorded deaths of oxalate poisoning after overconsuming oxalate-rich
Plants, unlike animals, cannot run away from predators. To defend themselves from herbivores, insects, fungi and other threats, they produce toxic defense chemicals. One of them is known as lectins. Lectins are a plant defense mechanism that mainly protect the seeds, but can be found in other parts of the plant as well. As with anything living, the highest priority of the entity is reproduction. Therefore, seeds tend to have a higher concentration of
The pharmaceutical shills at Healthline are at it again, publishing their usual nonsensical backwards-thinking rubbish. This time they praise the importance of vitamin K and recommend extremely toxic food sources without mentioning anything about bioavailability and the different chemical forms, as in non-active inorganic (plants) and the active organic forms (animals,) nor how these forms present themselves within the body, and how our body handles them. They are either outright lying to their audience,

One of the worst and possible most evil ways to manipulate weak-minded and gullible people, is to maim them for life through surgical procedures, such as bariatric surgery, or “weight-loss surgery” to reduce the size of the stomach in order to limit the amount of food someone can eat in a day. Anyone with an ounce of intelligence should be able to figure out that such an approach is a very, very bad idea. And
Yesterday, September 23, 2024, Medical News Today ran an ‘advertisement’ piece for the totally unnecessary and damaging new drug EBGLYSS from the evil scumbags at Eli Lilly, one of many pharmaceutical companies who are part of the agenda to keep people as dumbed-down, weak, docile, controllable, and dependent on the government as possible. Their article is based on the news that The Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved Eli Lilly’s EBGLYSS as
Ah, here we go again. Medical News Today recently covered yet another extremely retarded and diabolic study where both the researchers and the authors show zero knowledge of biology, physiology and biochemistry. As with pretty much every study that is conducted by indoctrinated fools, as in those who studied within the inverted medical field and the food industry’s “nutrition science,” they find what they believe is a “positive effect,” without understanding the mechanism behind
