I used to automatically view vegetables as always a bad idea due to
the antinutrients, but the trouble is that self-medication among wild
animals, using herbs/plants, appears to be quite common, and usage of
plants for herbal medicine also seems to have been a common Palaeo
practice among our own human ancestors. It makes sense to me that
something like the antinutrients in plants are unhealthy, if consumed
in excess (eg:- via veggie-juice or a raw-vegan diet), but if eaten
in small, trace amounts might actually be beneficial, in certain
circumstances.
I don't eat vegetables any more. they don't taste that good to me and all the nutrients in vegetables can be obtained from other foods. this topic just came up...
