Dr. Gundry looks at a groundbreaking study from USC revealing that younger, non-smoking lung cancer patients frequently consume diets richer in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains than the general population. Dr. Gundry explains what this means for your health and why the dirty dozen foods may be far more dangerous than you think.
In this episode, Dr. Gundry Identifies the troublesome "Dirty Dozen" fruits and breaks down the hidden dangers of pesticides, lectins, and excess fructose in everyday produce — including foods most people consider completely safe. From spinach and strawberries to blueberries and apples, he walks through every item on the updated dirty dozen list and reveals why even organic produce may not protect you the way you think.
