Found in whole grains, vegetables, and legumes, these long-chain carbs play essential roles in cellular repair, immune health, and reducing inflammation. In today’s episode, Dr. John E. Lewis joins us to explore the real science behind sugars, anti-nutrients, common misconceptions, and more in this episode on Polysaccharides.
