How “Unimportant Molecules” Impact the Immune System with Dr. Joseph Piz...

did you know there are 50 000 molecules in plant food and we focus on 50 of them?

And that plants (and that includes herbs and spices) have a system of protecting themselves against toxins

in the soil and that protection is what we ingest that protects us too? Pesticides destroy that and many of the other plant 

molecules that were there to keep us healthy!  A great listen.
