Debunking Everything You Know About Lectins | Dr. Joel Fuhrman

[@jodiperkins315]

Love Dr. Fuhrman, he is a wealth of knowledge! Gandalf for sure! 😄

[@GoodnessLover]

He truly is! Thank you for watching ☺️

[@michaelilnitsky9720]

Finally someone explaining lectins that make sense and seem logical truth. Thank you!

[@ericbrandon8699]

Fuhrman is so right about your tastebuds changing over time. I enjoy eating healthy as much as I used to enjoy eating junk food. I would rather have a bowl of frozen blueberries than a bowl of ice cream. I don’t miss the junk food at all .

[@krawlb4walking802]

Amen. 🌼

[@sectionalsofa]

I'm eating frozen blueberries as I watch this! So good.

[@ericbrandon8699]

Linda S....try putting blueberries in a blender then pouring them in popsicle molds.😋

[@langreeves6419]

That's the part that doesn't get publicized. People think healthy foods don't taste good, and life will have no pleasure without fat and sugar and bacon. I'm enjoying food more than I ever did when I ate junk and animal products. I don't think a healthy diet can be maintained for benefit down the road. But if a diet produces positive effects right now, then I can stay on the diet. And the healthier and "wholer" my whole food vegan diet gets, the happier and more calm energy I have.

In the '80s, when working in China, I came across a report of a study of areas of the country with an unusual percentage of centigenarians. The study was looking for common lifestyle factors, and identified three: high altitude, physical labour and a diet high in beans. This is about third-hand and I can't vouch for its accuracy, but there it is FWIW.

[@EricaNernie]

Thanks for featuring Dr Furhman. I feel so blessed for having come across his book Eat to Live and am experiencing the health benefits of doing so. Have ordered Eat for Life.

[@katherinevictor-n4f]

Thank you for this talk. I was one person very confused over lectins. I'm going to be adding beans into my daily diet and hopefully my gut will adjust and the gas will go away. This information series has been SOOOOO WONDERFUL 🎉🎉🎉. Thank you for opening up this weekend marathon. I desperately wanted to join your group. But I just don't have the money. So I jumped on the videos the minute I saw them available. Thank you so very much. There was so much I wanted to expand in my notes or clarify a point. Now I can. I am so excited 🎉🎉😊😊!!!

11:41. Dr. Greger explained that there are 2 types of plant estrogens: alpha and beta. The alpha plant estrogens are the cancer causers found in plants like hops used in beer making, while soy has the beta plant estrogens that are cancer protectors. Yes, keep the soy.

Bean are seeds, once you soak them you start the germination process that makes the seeds go into being a live vegetable. Eat beens that already got a little root coming out.

What about lecitins in tomato seeds? They are not cooked when consumed.

[@johndoudna7055]

I find it beyond belief that formulas for the life-extending properties of beans are truly so specific - X percent increase for x number of spoonfuls per day. But what do I know. There are also cohorts of vegetarians about in the world equally as willing or more so to speak against meat/dairy/fish/chicken. And science takes a back seat to money/politics/power it seems - at the peril of disease, bad nutrition, and early death. A point is that OPEN discussion of true science rather than power positions is required. Thanks for the discussion.

[@pierrehanell]

Dose lectines get lower when you sprouted the beans as well?

[@theresa9850]

Thank you to open my eyes and free me from cautions everywhere.

[@ccaselli7]

I didn't watch all of it, but it's reassuring to know beans r ok if cooked well. What about seeds?

[@GoodnessLover]

Aside from beans, Dr. Fuhrman is also a huge fan of seeds! Read up on his thoughts about that here: www.drfuhrman.com/elearning/eat-to-live-blog/72/nuts-and-seeds-essential-for-good-health-and-weight-loss We hope this helps!

[@anzaborrego399]

I read that oxalate crystals can not be cooked out of high oxalate foods. I had some oxalate dumping and it was painful. I understand that oxalate dumping can go on for decades. Many beans are high oxalate.

[@GoodnessLover]

Oxalic acid absorption from the GI tract may be reduced by calcium citrate supplementation before meals. Vitamin B6, arginine, vitamin E, chondroitin sulfate, taurine, selenium, omega-3 fatty acids and/or N-acetyl glucosamine supplements may also reduce oxalates and/or their toxicity. Excessive fats in the diet may cause elevated oxalate if fatty acids are poorly absorbed because of bile salt deficiency. Unabsorbed free fatty acids bind calcium to form insoluble soaps, reducing calcium's ability to bind oxalate and increase its absorption. Therefore, taking bile salt supplements could also be helpful. Supplementing with taurine (if low in a plasma amino acid profile) may also help to stimulate bile salt production, leading to better fatty acid absorption and diminished oxalate absorption. Magnesium can help reduce oxalate absorption when taken at around the same time. These effects disappear if your intake of magnesium and oxalate differ by 12 hours or more. You can take a magnesium supplement or potentially increase your intake of magnesium-rich foods. Research suggests that boiling and steaming can significantly reduce oxalate content (roasting, grilling, or baking have little to no effect on oxalates). Soaking or sprouting your pulses before cooking can also significantly reduce oxalate levels. Finally, staying hydrated with water can also help flush out oxalates and prevent dehydration, which can otherwise play a role in kidney stone formation for some people.

[@lindamaddison6356]

@@GoodnessLover Do raw bean sprouts contain lectins?

[@GoodnessLover]

@@lindamaddison6356 Yes, raw bean sprouts do contain lectins. Lectins are a type of protein found in many plants, including beans and sprouts. While lectins can have some health benefits, they can also cause digestive issues for some individuals if consumed in large amounts. However, cooking bean sprouts can help reduce lectin content and make them easier to digest.🙏

If you have concerns about genetically modified soy and corn, consider choosing non-GMO verified products. Additionally, you can explore alternative sources of plant-based proteins to suit your preferences and dietary needs.

[@GoodnessLover]

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. It sounds like you have a sensitivity to soy, which can indeed lead to uncomfortable symptoms like hives. While soy is a common food that contains lectins, individual reactions can vary widely. It's also essential to listen to your body and avoid foods that trigger adverse reactions. We wish you light and health in your journey.🙏

[@BenjaminGessel]

What I think of the "docs": Hyman = Spot on. About everything. Yep, pretty much. Fuhrman = Underestimates the healthfulness of wild caught (Alaskan) salmon and pasture raised eggs perhaps, etc. (I know top quality chicken and turkey doesn't exactly impress Dr. Fuhrman...) Overestimates how much fiber most people can consume comfortably without eating a fair bit less. In other words, you're going to consume fewer calories when eating a lot of beans, veggies, etc. So that would take some getting used to for many folks. I suppose thats the whole idea... Berg = Are you SURE that that many pasture raised eggs a day is that healthy? 🤷‍♂️ I mean, I've been eating up to 4 soft boiled eggs a day more recently... 🤷‍♂️ Berry = Yep, he's a meat fan... Barnard and McDougall = Meh. Greger = The guy is INTENSE... Intensely VEGAN, that is... Gundry and Glidden = A little odd, a little "quacky", some good points they make... Weil = The ol' anti-inflammatory diet. Been around since before 2000... Axe = Has stuff to say about most every food, sounds more supportive rather than critical of people esp., leans keto, very personable.

Yes all these doctors and their food preferences ! All food in moderation are healthy from legumes, vegetable, fruits, nuts, seeds, eggs, chicken, fish to beans ( well cooked).

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO HEAL MY GUT AND STOMACH ACID BACK

[@lindapayne7359]

Just so we’ll explained. Eat more beans.

[@valerieann8007]

I find it surprising that Furman didn't explain that Almost ALL soybeans other than ORGANIC soybeans in the US are GMO which are bad for everyone, and any benefits from soybeans reported were from ORGANIC soybeans only. Also, I used to love Goya refried pinto beans which have been cooked twice, but at some point, I started getting such severe, painful bloating after eating them, I even almost went to the hospital, I even got occasional heart burn, also. When I stopped eating them, I didn't get bloated anymore. That made me think Dr Gundry's warning about limiting lectins was probably on to something. Those Pinto beans by Goya are probably mostly GMO these days, also. The only thing I don't like about the idea that nightshade vegetables have more lectins is cutting out raw tomatoes, like the beautiful, better than organic beefsteak tomatoes they sell in regular produce mercados in Mexico City. I love those so much, especially in sandwiches, I could and did eat them every day, and never got tired of eating them, although I do remember Martha Stewart instructing to always remove the seeds and skin from tomatoes before eating, and the seeds and skin is where most of the lectins supposedly are. I never experienced any bloating after eating lots of raw tomatoes with the skin and seeds included, but agree they should be thoroughly washed with white vinegar before eating.

[@diandenmark]

As far as I know, optimal preparation of beans requires pressure cooking.

[@MassimoCastelli]

The speed you gain with pressure cooking, may actually lead you to not soak properly and have a not properly prepared bean. The elder in southern italian towns soak beans for at least 24 hours (changing the water) and then cook them for hours and hours in a clay pot on or beneath the fireplace.

Soybeans are GMO. They are genetically altered with a built in pesticide. And they most certainly raise bad estrogen levels causing males to become more effeminate. And they are a very poor source of protein in that they do not contain all the essential amino acids.

You're funny. It's like every time your write a comment you pull out one of the famous myths trying to invalidate veganism. Nothing new under the sun... Here's some food fpr thought: About 40% of Americans are b12 deficient. But there are only 3% of vegans. I'll let you do the math...
