Plant Paradox

John Sutter's new book, "The Plant Paradox," looks at the relationship between mitochondria and our microbiomes. He says we're beginning to understand that the microbiome is not only how we interact with plant materials but also diffuse plant materials such as lectins. And probably more importantly, he says, it teaches our immune system whether a particular plant compound is a friend or foe. The author will be releasing a cookbook in the fall for a fat for fuel based on his findings.
