Okay, so lectins are proteins that help plants protect themselves. But, what are they, exactly?
Well, for the scientists out there, a lectin is a “carbohydrate-binding protein of non-immune origin that agglutinates cells.” However, for the rest of us – who read those words and see gibberish:
A lectin is a type of protein (susceptible to various diseases, bacteria, and viruses) that forces carbs (sugars, starches, and fibers) to clump together and even attach to certain cells in your body when you eat them.

And those lectins can cause painful or uncomfortable physical responses, including:
● Digestive issues
● Leaky Gut
● Bloating
● Nausea
● Gas
● Diarrhea

Beyond causing nausea, the discomfort and danger of a leaky gut, or even diarrhea, lectins might also prompt you to gain weight, according to Dr. Gundry as he’s witnessed in hundreds of thousands of his patients. But gaining weight wasn’t always considered a bad thing, and it’s one of the reasons it’s ingrained in us to rely on lectin-rich foods.
