"Dr. Gundry is a true trailblazer, always at the forefront of
scientific knowledge. The Plant Paradox shows the world what
pioneer thinking is about and is a must-read book for anyone
interested in being as healthy as nature has designed them to be."
-Alejandro Junger MD, New York Times bestselling author of Clean,
Clean Gut and Clean Eats "The Plant Paradox elegantly explains how
plants defend themselves from being consumed by humans, and how
eating the wrong ones at the wrong times immeasurably hurts our
health. An eye-opening read." -Mehmet Oz, MD, Professor of Surgery,
New York Presbyterian/Columbia University Most of us have heard of
gluten-a protein found in wheat that causes widespread inflammation
in the body. Americans spend billions of dollars on gluten-free
diets in an effort to protect their health. But what if we've been
missing the root of the problem? In The Plant Paradox, renowned
cardiologist Dr. Steven Gundry reveals that gluten is just one
variety of a common, and highly toxic, plant-based protein called
lectin. Lectins are found not only in grains like wheat but also in
the "gluten-free" foods most of us commonly regard as healthy,
including many fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans, and conventional
dairy products. These proteins, which are found in the seeds,
grains, skins, rinds, and leaves of plants, are designed by nature
to protect them from predators (including humans). Once ingested,
they incite a kind of chemical warfare in our bodies, causing
inflammatory reactions that can lead to weight gain and serious
health conditions. At his waitlist-only clinics in California, Dr.
Gundry has successfully treated tens of thousands of patients
suffering from autoimmune disorders, diabetes, leaky gut syndrome,
heart disease, and neurodegenerative diseases with a protocol that
detoxes the cells, repairs the gut, and nourishes the body. Now, in
The Plant Paradox, he shares this clinically proven program with
readers around the world. The simple (and daunting) fact is,
lectins are everywhere. Thankfully, Dr. Gundry offers simple hacks
we easily can employ to avoid them, including: * Peel your veggies.
Most of the lectins are contained in the skin and seeds of plants;
simply peeling and de-seeding vegetables (like tomatoes and
peppers) reduces their lectin content.* Shop for fruit in season.
Fruit contain fewer lectins when ripe, so eating apples, berries,
and other lectin-containing fruits at the peak of ripeness helps
minimize your lectin consumption.* Swap your brown rice for white.
Whole grains and seeds with hard outer coatings are designed by
nature to cause digestive distress-and are full of lectins. With a
full list of lectin-containing foods and simple substitutes for
each, a step-by-step detox and eating plan, and delicious
lectin-free recipes, The Plant Paradox illuminates the hidden
dangers lurking in your salad bowl-and shows you how to eat whole
foods in a whole new way.
