How are we all still alive? Whats the physiological effects of not having veggies in the diet?
Asking as a new parent who’s toddler used to eat everything, but now understands what “greens” are and actively denies any attempt to feed him veggies, even disguised. I swear his tongue has an alarm the instant any hidden veggie enters his mouth.
I also have a coworker who goes out of their way to not eat veggies. Not the heathiest, but he functions as well as I can see.
In: Biology
One of the things that happens to people like this is colon cancer. If you never eat fiber it tremendously increases the rate of colon cancer which is very lethal. I don’t know the mechanism behind it, if I were to guess it is a combination between having bad bacteria in your gut and oxidative stress not being buffered by the antioxidants in vegetables.
