LIST OF FOODS
WITHOUT AND WITH LECTINS
What is the problem with lectins?
No living creature in this world wants to be eaten. Not even a plant. However, plants can neither fight nor flee, which is why they have other defense mechanisms:
Lectins are plant proteins that plants use to defend themselves against their predators. They are associated with the occurrence of chronic inflammatory diseases in humans.
Why is that? Read more about it here.
