In plants, overly high P6C levels likewise mess with vitamin B6 levels, disrupting the delicate balance of different types of B6 and causing neuropathology in the plants, just as it does in humans.

Beyond its implications for plant immunity, this discovery underscores the broader impact of diet on human health. Vitamin B6, found in many plant-based foods, is essential for neurotransmitter ...

It highlights the importance of plant-based diets as a source of essential vitamins and amino acids, reinforcing the deep biochemical connections between plant resilience and human health.

It seems that plant philosophy’s goal — like the animal- and nature-rights movements — is to knock humans off the pedestal of exceptionalism.
