Summary
Based on cutting-edge science in the fields of evolution, chemistry, and neuroscience, Most Delicious Poison reveals:
The origins of toxins produced by plants, mushrooms, microbes, and even some animals
The mechanisms that animals evolved to overcome them
How a co-evolutionary arms race made its way into the human experience
And much more
This perpetual chemical war not only drove the diversification of life on Earth, but also is intimately tied to our own successes and failures. You will never look at a houseplant, mushroom, fruit, vegetable, or even the past five hundred years of human history the same way again.
