tastes pretty darn sweet and a lot of it could have to do with the pectin it's nice and satiating as well that's kind of what gives it that i don't want to call it slimys it doesn't exactly make it sound good but that pectin plays a big role too so pectin is an indigestible fiber that can contribute to what are called short chain fatty acids in our gut short chain fatty acids are things like butyrate propionate acetate they are very important when it comes down to allowing the gut microbiome to flourish okay so like we take in certain kinds of fiber we take probiotics we eat yogurt we do things like that to all support our gut microbiome and if you wanted to just swap out corn for carrots now and then you can get a lot of that benefit people do ask by the way what probiotic i recommend i put a link down below i recommend one called seed they are a sponsor and a supporter on this channel and they've sponsored this video they're awesome so anytime i'm talking about vegetables and fiber it makes sense for me to mention them so i put a link down below again it's called seed it is what is called a daily synbiotic so it is a prebiotic fiber along with a probiotic now seed has done a tremendous job they are doing a lot of research when it comes down to the microbiome which i'm very appreciative of so that link is down below and that'll save you NUMBER_TOKEN off so if you use the code that's down below in the description you can try the seed daily symbiotic super cool it's got a capsule inside of a capsule so it's got kind of a multi-stage system which is really interesting so anyhow that link is down below big thank you to c and a big thank you to you for supporting sponsors that support this channel this next one is probably the worst of the bunch it's eggplant eggplant doesn't really have nutritional value okay but you might be wondering yeah but it's still got a lot of volume like it might keep me satiated yeah except for the fact that it is one of the highest lectin foods that you can consume look at lectins are in all kinds of foods they're in tomatoes they're in bell peppers they're in uh other peppers you're gonna find them a lot and i'm not saying avoid all lectins okay but eggplant is a very high in lectins but b also has no nutritional value to go along with it so it actually is kind of net negative it's like the one vegetable that i would say it's really not doing you much good at all if anything it could potentially even be setting you back but that's just me talking with lectins the main purpose of a lectin is to damage the gi tract of what is eating it so if insects were eating it it would cause an issue with the insects where they would get ultimately poisoned and damage their gut tract right there's even a study that was published in the journal toxicology that took a look at mice in this case and it found that mice that consumed high levels of lectins ended up having intestinal atrophy it affected their gut so much that it actually shrunk it and
