Inside your body, plant polyphenols can wreak havoc on metabolism, mineral absorption, and gut health—but there's more to this controversial story.
Polyphenols from plants can considerably disrupt your metabolism in several ways. These compounds are poorly absorbed, with only 5% making it into your system, and they can interfere with mineral absorption, blocking up to 75% of iron from your food. They also disrupt gut bacteria balance, lipid processing, and insulin response through complex metabolic pathways.
Understanding these mechanisms reveals why an animal-based diet might offer metabolic advantages worth exploring further.
