Interesting.

I thought it was interesting and some of it was useful to me. The ways in which we overload our body's ability to process whatever trace toxins are in our foods rarely come from fresh produce, though. I do think you can reduce inflammation and lose weight simply by cutting out most processed foods, especially wheat. I appreciated the explanation of how plants defend themselves and it makes sense, but I also don't think most of us are nearly as sensitive as his theory implies. Humans have the ability to digest and extract nutrients from all kinds of sources. But yes, our diet here in the US is unbalanced and we are overtaxing our digestive systems.
