The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
basically to take home here is that lectins are bad for everybody the lectins from beans and grains and nuts and seeds and some other foods some people eggs some people dairy can be problematic for most of us mostly by interacting with our gut but some of us they do end up in our bloodstream
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

we both agree that lectins are a real problem for humans these are carbohydrate binding proteins found in things like beans and seeds and nuts and grains
lectins carbohydrate binding proteins have been shown to change the balance of gut flora in your gut where are lectins found nightshade plants tomatoes potatoes uh these type of things and seeds seeds nuts grains and beans these are all going to have massive lectins
Lectins are predominantly found in seeds, seeds being seeds, nuts, grains, and beans. And these lectins appear to damage the gut, something that has not been talked about a whole lot, but I think is often overlooked in terms of uh, things that could be potentially harming our guts.
so carbohydrate binding proteins like lectins can be very problematic for humans most of the electrons we consume are nothing along that scale of severity but I think there's a good amount of evidence they do affect humans negatively now with regard to lectins the main foods lectins are in are again beans and seeds and Grains and nuts but they also occur in things like tomatoes and nightshade vegetables and lectins are probably responsible for many of the negative effects of those compounds in the human gut
Uh so, lectins obviously are an issue.
So, we talked you touched on lectins. So, I've talked about that in the past. These are carbohydrate binding proteins predominantly found in things like nuts and seeds and grains and beans. But the nightshade vegetables or the nightshade plants like tomatoes, eggplants, tend to have lectins that are problematic for a lot of people in their skin and their seeds.
