Prevent and Reverse Autoimmune Disorders, Diabetes, Leaky Gut Syndrome, Heart Disease, and Neurodegenerative Diseases.
The must-read summary of “The Plant Paradox: The Hidden Dangers in ‘Healthy’ Foods That Cause Disease and Weight Gain,” by Steven R. Gundry, MD
While many plant foods are good for you, others can make you sick and overweight. Most of us have heard of gluten, a protein in wheat that can cause widespread inflammation in the body, resulting in serious illnesses. Gluten is just one variety of toxic plant-based proteins called lectins. For millions of years, plants protected themselves and their offspring from insects by producing toxins in their seeds and other parts. These toxins can paralyze insects and make them sick. They can also destroy your health.
In The Plant Paradox, Dr. Gundry explains the hidden dangers in “healthy” foods that can cause disease and weight gain. The Plant Paradox Program is the protocol used by Dr. Gundry in his California clinics to treat patients suffering from autoimmune disorders, diabetes, leaky gut syndromes, heart disease, and neurodegenerative diseases. It includes a step-by-step detox and eating plan detailing which plant foods to eat, which to avoid, and how to prepare certain foods to mitigate the impact of lectins.

Read this book to find out which plant foods to eat, which to avoid, and how to prepare certain foods to mitigate the impact of lectins.
Genre: STUDY AIDS / Study GuidesEvery living thing strives to survive and passes on its genes to future generations. Some plants. such as fruit trees, enclose their seeds in a hard coating so they can survive a trip through the predator’s digestive systems, or large enough not to be swallowed, and simply left behind. These plants rely on animals to eat or gather their seeds before they fall to the ground. They want the seeds to wind up some distance from the mother plant so they don’t have to compete for sun, moisture, and nutrients. But they don’t want the seeds to be eaten before the protective coating is hardened, so they use color to convey the message that the fruit is not ready. They also increase the toxic levels in the unripe fruit to discourage the predators.
For grasses, grains, and other plants that grow in open futile fields, they want their seeds to fall in place because there is no advantage to be carried off. Instead of a hard casing, the seed contains chemicals that weaken predators, paralyze them, or make them ill, so they won’t eat the plant again. These chemicals include phytates, which hamper mineral absorption; trypsin inhibitors, which hinder digestion; and lectins, which disrupt cellular communication by causing a leaky gut. Gluten is one variety of lectins found in wheat. Whole grains contain all three chemicals in the fibrous hull, husk, and bran. Other chemicals include tannins and alkaloids found in the stems and leaves of the nightshade family.
