203: Focus Friday - To Eat Or Not To Eat... Lectins Dec 08, 2017

Show notes

To eat or not to eat... lectins. This is the question we were faced with after our latest episode featuring Dr. Steven Gundry.

A group of proteins called lectins are the primary defence most plants have against predators... including us (human beings).

Today we're discussing how we're going to approach lectins in the "healthy" foods we've been consuming.

Dr. Steven Gundry has worked in medicine for over 40 years and is probably best known for my work as a cardiologist and heart surgeon. He now teaches people how to avoid surgery by using his unique vision of human nutrition.

Dr. Gundry is the director of the International Heart and Lung Institute and he's the founder and director of the Center for Restorative Medicine.

Dr. Gundry is the author of two books and over three hundred articles published in peer-reviewed journals. His latest book is titled The Plant Paradox and is the focus of today's show.

Are grains & beans making you gain weight?
Lectins can appear in the flesh of animals
