Episode notes
Lectins Promote Leaky Gut And Inflammation
- Lectins in many snack foods promote intestinal permeability and drive inflammation.
- Dr. Stephen Gundry warns that grain-based and certain plant foods often contain these problematic lectins.
How To Find Hidden Sugar In Snacks
- Calculate hidden sugar by subtracting fiber from total carbs and dividing by four to get teaspoons per serving.
- Avoid products with high calculated sugar even if labels hide added sugars.
Skip Artificial Sweeteners; Prefer Allulose
- Avoid artificial sweeteners like saccharin, aspartame, and sucralose because they alter appetite and harm gut bacteria.
- Prefer non-GMO allulose, which Gundry cites as a prebiotic that supports friendly bacteria.
