Dr Idz is WRONG About Plant Toxins!

Dr Idz seems to think that just because he hasn't seen something, that it doesn't exist. This hubris can get you into trouble. You may have seen his video where he took a 30 second clip of a 2.5 hour video abd tried to critique it without even watching the rest of the video to see the context. Unfortunately for @dr_idz he was utterly, and verifiably, wrong. Without watching the full video, or even looking it up, he states that plants DON'T contain any carcinogens, and even if they did, they would LIKELY be hormetic. Too bad for Dr Idz, it is a well documented fact that plants contain harmful toxins, some of which can be carcinogenic, according to the World Health Organization, UC Berkeley professor Bruce Ames, various books on Botany, and many other sources. Not only does Idz not bother to look up this well documented fact before making a video saying they don't exist, he then makes the assumption that even if they did exist (which they do) they would actually provide benefit through hormesis, but he provides absolutely not evidence of this. And if he did, he would have to provide it for the nearly 1,000,000 documented plant toxins and show:

1. Which ones are hormetic?
2. At what dose are they hormetic?
3. What is the effect?
4. Are all the toxins hormetic?
5. As there can be hundreds of toxins in any given plant, are they all hormetic at same ratio in same plant?
6. How would you know?
7. How can you know the exact amount of each toxin in each plant in say a salad?

Dr Idz does not even attempt to provide any of this because he has no idea and was just making a wild accusation, which seems to be par for the course with him. It takes a lot of knowledge to realize just how little we know and to have some humility about it. Unfortunately again, Dr Idz hasn't gotten that far in his studies.
