Join Hannah and Tareq for the pre-season finale episode about all things green (and yellow, red, orange, etc.). They address the murky folklore and fake science smatterings about The Plant Paradox Diet and its main enemy: lectins. They're a protein found in many fruits, vegetables, and dairy products but why do lectins get such a bad wrap? Are they really toxic? What are the actual documented adverse effects some people seem to go on about? Tareq and Hannah break it down.

In this episode, Hannah and Tareq define the health halo effect and share some real-life examples. They also talk about why coconut oil has benefitted from this effect and why research shows it isn't the health food it's often made out to be.
