Dr Alan Flanagan, PhD, and Dr Matthew Nagra, ND, critically examine the bold assertions made by Dr Steven Gundry in his book 'The Plant Paradox.' They discuss the myths vs. facts surrounding lectins, including their role in leaky gut syndrome, inflammation, and weight gain. They debunk misconceptions about lectins triggering various health conditions, analyze the impact of lectin content in foods, and explore studies on antibodies and food allergies. Overall, they advocate for a balanced diet that includes beans and emphasize the lack of evidence supporting adverse effects of consuming lectin-containing foods.
