Plant Paradox Dr Steven R Gundry MD, Plant Anomaly Paradox 2 Books Collection Set

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.

We spend much of our time learning about the foods we should be eating; the nutrition they contain, whether they have superfood status and how they will help us be as healthy as we can be. The Plant Paradox however suggests a new way of thinking, one that concentrates on the food we shouldn't be eating and how avoiding them could benefit your gut and your health. This book is a guide to introducing you to the theory of Lectin Free Living along with a collection of delicious recipes which will show how the diet can work for YOU.
