I Knew All Those Vegetables Were Bad for Me

I haven’t eaten many veggies since I found out over ten years ago that I was allergic to many of them and suffered for years without knowing why. I have told people that vegetables are not always good for certain people and I eat only a select few. Mostly, I was looked at with disdain.

It’s no wonder so many vegans look malnourished: copper overload.
