Wonderful collagen!

Yes, some celery in the broth... still getting everyone onboard with no-plants. The person who added the celery into the broth doesn't even like celery, they were just following a guide. Baby steps.

What’s the harm in cooking your broth with vegetables? It adds flavors to it that you otherwise won’t get.

If your on a diet that allows for veggies and you can tolerate them, then its fine. Plants in general add oxalates, lectins, plant sterols, and other anti-nutrients - some people are sensitive to them and they can cause issues.

Yeah the only stuff I can find when googling plant sterols is generally good sources saying theyre good for lowering cholesterol. The only occasion its bad is if you have a rare genetic disorder.

I can't find anything on lectins being good, but that's the substance that makes the long cook time of beans necessary. Wikipedia says cooking makes them inactive and not a problem.

(Also said the guy pushing anti-lectin diets doesn't have any science to back it up, which isn't a problem for me, but I'd avoid using it as a health argument)

Interesting, the only concern with oxalates seems to be excessive amounts can hurt Calcium and Magnesium intake and cause kidney stones if eaten in excess. Says WebMD at least but you're fine so long as you're cooking your vegetables which is the case for all of that so far.

What is an anti-nutrient?

Also do those get transfered over in broth?
