The Plant Paradox: The Hidden Dangers in "Healthy" Foods That Cause Disease and Weight Gain

Plants have an
impressive array of defense tactics to protect themselves from predators
of all shapes and sizes--including humans. Stephen Gundry believes that
these defense strategies make the seemingly virtuous plants that we
consume every day--fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and seeds--far less
"good for us" than we assume.
Dr. Gundry outlines the health
hazards posed by lectins. The main sources of lectins in the American
diet include conventionally-raised dairy products, beans, and other
legumes, wheat and grains, and specific vegetables and fruits
With
a full list of lectin-containing foods and simple substitutes for each;
a step-by-step detox and eating plan; and easy 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.
