    Plant-Based VS Animal-Based (part 2)

    Plant-Based VS Animal-Based (part 2)

    For decades, we've been advised that the route to heart health is paved with plants - lots of vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and vegetable oils. But what if this conventional advice is dead wrong? This riveting episode dares to question wether a plant-centric diet could actually be detrimental to your heart over time. From the dangers of plant toxins and anti-nutrients to the problematic proteins in grains and legumes, you'll be shocked at the potential cardiac risks of consuming too many plant foods. Is your "heart healthy" diet secretly sabotaging your most important organ?
