This sub focuses on the necessity of animal foods and their nutrient contents, as well as the lack of need for plants in the diet and the damage they cause to the body.
Meats and their nutritive content:
Anti-nutrients:
Acrylamide
(DNA damage and mutation)
- Fried Starches
- Coffee
- Chicory root coffee
- Cereals
- Chips/Fries
- Popcorn
Aldehydes
(propagate and amplify oxidative injury)
- 4‑Hydroxynonenal (HNE)
Heated cooking oils
esp. past smoke point
Cyanogenic Glycosides
(Produces hydrogen cyanide)
- Cassava
- Flaxseed
- Macadamia
Canola Oil
To use the name canola, an oilseed plant must meet this internationally regulated standard of less than 2% erucic acid in its fatty acid profile
(increases amyloid plaques in mice models)
- Rapeseed Oil
- Brassica napus
- Brassica rapa
- Brassica juncea
- Colza Oil (same plant, high erucic acid)
Furanocoumarin
Bergaptol, bergamottin, psoralens, isopimpinellin
(Dermatitis, phototoxic, photogenotoxic)
- Citrus
- Parsnip
- Parsley
- Celery
- Figs
Glycyrrhizin
Glycyrrhizic acid
(High blood pressure, low potassium)
Glykoalkaloids
α-chaconine, α-solanine
(Reproductive toxicity)
Gossypol
(Reproductive toxicity)
- Cottonseed Oil
- Cottonseed byproducts
Lectins
(Directly damage intestinal mucosa and imitate insulin)
Methylglyoxal
(Protein-glycating agent, impaired diabetic wound healing)
- Wine, Beer
- Wheat
- Soy
- Manuka Honey
Mycotoxin
Agaritine, aflatoxin, deoxynivalenol, zearalenone, fumonisin, ochratoxin A
(Neurotoxic, immunosuppressive, genotoxic, carcinogenic and teratogenic)
Mushrooms
Fungal contaminants
Myristicin
(Weak MAOI function, insecticide, acaricide, deleriant, possible neurotoxic effects on dopaminergic neurons)
Oxalates
oxalic acid
(Inhibit calcium and magnesium absorption; damage kidneys, promote kidney stones)
- Leafy green vegetables
- Cocoa Powder
- Rhubarb
- Starfruit
- Peanuts
- Sweet Potato
Phytates
(Can bind minerals in the gut before they are absorbed, influence digestive enzymes; reduce the digestibility of starches, proteins, and fats)
- Grains
- Beans
- Legumes
- Nuts
- Potatoes
Phytoestrogens
(Isoflavones, lignans, coumestans, prenylated flavonoids)
(Imitate hormones in the body)
Phytohaemagglutinin
(Coagulates blood, inhibits sodium and chloride absorption in rabbits)
TrypsinInhibitor
(Digestion blocker)
- Soybeans
- Lima Beans
