I’m Indian and we’ve been eating red kidney beans forever. They literally cannot be consumed raw or semi cooked unless you are wanting to torment yourself. We always soak them overnight and pressure cook them until they are properly soft and properly delicious with all the spices we add to our beloved ‘rajma’. And we eat them with white rice. It’s about balance and well tested food combinations.

I would like to present you my case: 4 years ago, I practiced bodybuilding and had a diet rich in lectins: red beans, oatmeal, soy, wholemeal bread (I admit, not very well cooked) After about 2 years of the diet, the problems started, the joint pains in the legs started, two toes swelled, and the doctors' conclusion was reactive arthritis. After a year and some treatments, I managed to calm the disease (with a gluten-free, no ultra-processed, nseed oil-free, dairy-free diet). Now, if I exaggerate even with gluten-free bread, adverse reactions begin to appear.

I went to three gastroenterologists (in Switzerland) because of severe gastrointestinal issues, and I thought it was gluten. Non of them told me about fructans, only that there was nothing showing gluten sensitivity! I discovered by myself by doing an elimination diet and the FODMAP App by the Monash University. If gastroenterologist and doctors in general don’t take those things seriously including the patients, no wonder people listen to lonely wolfs. Patients often are by themselves!!!!

That’s so true. I think cultures that have traditionally grown and eaten legumes / beans know how to cook these properly. Trouble for us Brits (for example), is that we (maybe still) haven’t quite “cracked it”. The 60s Hippy Trailers probably began the problem, bringing back foreign, but distorted, “Wholefood / Healthy / Veggie” cookery notions that became fashionable among trendy youngsters and have remained with us. Trouble is they often didn’t cook the new cuisine properly and, together with Muesli, it became gut-tormenting fodder instead of a beneficial food.

I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis in Dec21 with ANTI TPO over 1300 and FAN over 140. So I did included some vit D, B6, B9, Mg and mainly took all lectins rich food from my diet and I was vegetarian! By Dec 22 FAN was negative and Anti TPO below 100. I was still vegetarian and many others did benefit from a almost lectin free diet (taking out the lectin rich foods - not all legumes are lectin rich, there are plenty of legumes to be eaten on a “lectin free” diet. I get more studies should be carried out and again there are plenty of legumes to eaten that are lectin free or very low in lectins. That is my experience and I am so grateful for all the research and discussions that Zoe does.

Growing up, I never heard of anyone having allergies. However, over the years, we have been using so many chemicals in agriculture and elsewhere that I’m not surprised that many people today suffer from some type of allergy. We use pesticides, herbicides, and other chemicals like defoliants on cotton fields to make the plants drop their leaves. We use chemical fertilizers and many of these chemicals get into the soil and then are taken up by the plants via their roots. We have plastic molecules floating around in our drinking water and our soil. I’m pretty sure, pollution has a lot to do with people’s health.

@@miracoli16 Ease up on that person's comment, please. I tried both red and white quinoa when I was on the Gundry scam diet for a year (2017 -2018). Quinoa just never set well with me. Someone native to Peru said to always pressure cook them but when I tried that I still felt weak after eating them so finally quit trying and felt much better. My stomach never hurt. I didn't get gas, etc. I just felt lousy a few hours after eating them so I stopped. Some people may get a warning signal or any other food by the way of rashes, so it is very unkind of you be so judgemental. My real warning signal came in the form of a con-man taking my money in exchange for cheap vitamins and entertaining recipe performances on KZbin. I applied Gundry's technique to the letter but never lost any weight or solved any other symptoms. I finally realized the doctor I had idolized, just singled out one or two lab-rat studies as unique his way of building a multimillion-dollar Quackery Book/vitamin program. Gundry is a con-artist. I finally found amazing results from the recipes on MedicalMedium.com. I used it to dissolve growths on my thyroid and cure my Hoshimoto's Thyroiditis. Without dieting, I ate all I wanted and was never hungry, yet lost 50 lbs over a year. With Gundry, the only way to lose weight was intermittent fasting and depriving the body of an array of healthy foods.

Dr Steven Gundry (obviously the person you did not name) did recommend soaking and pressure cooking for legumes. As a retired medical doctor, I would be reallly interested in looking at the “favorite” study you mentioned. It was probably carried out with “healthy” subjects. I, on the other hand, was so ill that I got my will drawn before I stumbled upon The Plant Paradox. Sorry to rock your boat, but, after going on a low-lectin diet, I’m now healthy and traveling all over the world. I grow my own organic vegetables, and buy organic meat, chicken and eggs from a nearby farmer. After I saw the video on soaking and pressure cooking legumes, I happily made a pot of lentil soup. Well, I became so ill that I’m not touching legumes anymore with a six-foot pole. By the way, legumes and whole grains are not the only culprits. Fruits produced thousands of miles away and shipped to you to be eaten out of season is another large source of “bad” lectins. Not surprisingly, I have now grown a food forest in my backyard, front yard, and side yard. But I’ll stop here. Obviously, you will label me as an anecdote and not part of a controlled study and brush me off. That’s okay. Just saying that every human is an individual entity, and do not all react the same way to all substances.

Nightshades are high in lectins… As long as I keep a low lectin diet my bladder is fine but if I slip up on my diet my bladder starts to hurt. Beans tear me up too!

Before discrediting Mr Gundy for promoting his insights/opinions contained in his books, it may be sensible to remember that Mr Bulsiewicz also has books to sell. For those not familiar with statistics in scientific papers it might interest you to understand the numbers: For the muesli bar experiment the difference in symptoms between placebo and fructan is 5%. There is also no mention of what else the participants ate throughout their days. While the result is 'significant', this just means the participants ,on average, experienced more symptoms during the week they were assigned the fructan bar. Not that the fructan bar is the cause (although it may be). Placebo is important for any experiment but here, without a complete meal plan, there are too many unknown variables. As for the heart disease (CHD and CVD) study, consuming 400g of beans per week is "associated" to a decreased CHD & CVD risk by 6% and 10% respectively. So it cannot be said that eating beans directly lowers your risk by these tiny amounts. Maybe a sensible question is 'What is it about people who consume lots of beans that results in lowered risk?' Credit is due for actually including links to the research referenced in this video....but I fear approximately 8,000 viewers are now flocking to the bean& lentils aisle to purchase 400g of beans for no good reason.

Not super sugary cereals like Captain Crunch, but Pablum, CornFlakes, and Shredded wheat types. Many families we knew ate lots of Kraft dinner, drank a lot of coca cola, ate bags of chips etc. Dad hated that stuff. Thanks Dad.

But diet of high legumes does not mean high lectins, because cooking destroyed most of lectins. But there are lectins such as in wheat products that could not be destroyed by cooking. So depends on how you interpret the legume experiment, those who ate a lot of legumes could be eating a lot less wheat products, that could be the reason for the results. The whole grain study also could be interpreted in a different way, which is the results are compared to those not eating whole grain, but still eating about the same amount lectins, it was just fibre doing the work. Also lectins restricted diet was meant for people already having leaky guts, trying to repair them. And we know for people have leaky guts consuming whole grain wheat is only going to cause more problems, because gluten can go through gut wall and considered by our body as viruses, and that is how auto-immune diseases started, by an over-active immune system. If your gut walls are OK, gluten is not going to do much harm. Also the anti-lectins club claims leaky gut causes all the problems, not lectins, it is just lectins could cause leaky guts, this is not addressed by any of the arguments or researches in the video. So if you are serious about lectins please do a more thorough research on the subject, because I want to know more, since I have auto-immune diseases such as arthritis and skin eczema, and I want to hear a second opinion on lectins, just not this.

Any radical change in a diet, can cause a bad reaction as the microbiome aids in the digestion of the food we eat, and not all gut bacteria digest the same foods. But , if foods you have not consumed regularly, are introduced slowly, as any well tolerated foods are reduced, gives the microbiome the time for the specific gut bacteria to develop enough to be able to handle the amount you have in mind to do. If you are planning a trip to Mexico but you don’t eat this cuisine often or at all, then if you follow the suggested change in diet for 2 weeks, slowly introducing more, then you will be able to enjoy your trip with no Montezuma’s Revenge. Hope this helps you.

I believe it’s the lack of fiber in our diet that’s causing all the negative symptoms. Beans are full of fiber, and it takes more calories to burn them and then what’s in them from what I understand. What people don’t seem to understand is it you have to start slow and easy with beans and build up so your gut builds microbiome. That way you don’t get so gassy .😊

I knew about lectins. I always soak my dried kidney/red beans for a day (if your place has mold or grow mold easily dont soak them for more than 24 hours) and change the water every 8-12 hours. Make sure you always have clean utensils and hands. Then, I boil it for around 45 minutes in high then low heat (make sure the water still boiling). I always change the water after 15 minutes cookin then I boil them for the remaining minutes (make sure the water boils). For mung beans, I only soak it for 4-5 hours then I boil it in medium heat until they are soft (around 30 minutes). For other beans (we have this variety called white and brown bean), I know they are gonna be cooked relatively quick, so I only soak them for 4-5 hours). For cucumber, I peel the skin and I dont eat the seeds. For tomatoes, at least I cook them or roast them. Cooking saves us in so many ways.

But when I ate a vegetarian meat substitute without reading the ingredients, the next day I had the symptoms that led me to stop eating gluten. I couldn't think what had caused it until I read the label. Main ingredient was gluten. I'd love to be able to eat bread etc again, but I think I have to accept that I really can't eat gluten. I don't have the packet any more so can't check if there were fructans. Also before I had accepted that I couldn't eat gluten I got some vital wheat gluten and made seitan. I really suffered. It can't be that gluten is never the problem and it's only the fructans.

Most people that can't eat gluten it's cause they don't have enough lactate. Proper sourdough bread will turn the gluten into lactate, making you able to break down any gluten in that has not been broken down in the sourdough process. Same thing with lactose intolerance and natural yoghurt the lactose is broken down to lactase. Like if you are gluten intolerant and eat natural yoghurt with gluten you are able to break down the gluten, and vice versa. Masticating your food properly will get digestive enzymes to start breaking down the gluten. Exercise will produce lactate in the blood, so your body will try to rid lactate in your gut, to stop more entering. If you exercise, I would assume you need some lactate in your diet to counter these negative effects of exercise. Or something like that, I am getting confused with lactate, lactose, lactic acid, bacteria, enzymes. But lactate and lactic acid are basically the same thing and most the time when people say lactic acid they mean lactate. The bacteria must produce enzymes to break down gluten or lactose. There is no lactic acid inside your body, only lactate, but there is lactic acid inside your gut, and your gut is outside your body. Like when this research is presented using the wrong words 99% of the time, it does my head in.

I tried sourdough bread all so on etc, and I've spoken to people who said that it took 3 times before they tested celiac, or the process took years before they found out. I'm not going to keep eating gluten and destroy my digestive system because people say it's in my head. I've done enough of that already. I do plan to check out monash and the FODMAP diet to see if I'm reacting to anything else. But I'm done testing this and experiencing the consequences because other people tell me i'm wrong. Taking it out completely has helped me a lot. I also have reactions to dairy proteins as well, and I think they may be similar to the gluten protein. For me, right now, there are too many things confirming not to eat gluten. So I will stick with it.

So here are some comments. 1. Oats - Your talk about pesticides frightened me as I have only one source of oats and I eat it most days. 2. Fermented Foods - If I can find some I'll give it a go 3. Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Great, except that as a pensioner in this country (South Africa) EVOO pricewise is totally out of reach. Can you suggest an alternative 4. Green tea - need more information. Must water be boiled or not? Is it OK to use tea bags or is the way the paper of the bags procesed toxic? 5. Beans - Yes all the time along with lentils, split peas, and chick peas. One question that is never raised. I believe that because you never find bugs in bulk dry beans, that they are covered in some kind of pesticide so wherever you recommend beans you should emphasise rinsing them thoroughly Enjoy your show and thanks

I am no expert but from what I recall soaking and washing can help reduce arsenic a bit. Also cooking by boiling in ample amounts of water is likely to be the most effective method and way safer than any sort of absorption method in reducing arsenic, thereby suggesting not using most rice cookers if you are concerned about this. Rice coming from different areas can vary significantly in arsenic content, so it would be worth looking at the source of the rice after having done some research on arsenic content if you want to reduce arsenic consumption. For example, there have been suggestions that in areas in Asia that have been used to grow rice for hundreds of years arsenic depletion of the soil might be greater than in soil used in “New World” rice crops, although I think usable data might be hard to come by.

Would love a video on how success with a lectin-free diet may be confused with a FODMAP or fructans issue. To combat the eczema and watering eyes that I have been suffering from basically all my 58y life, I tried going lectin-free, or rather lectin-low, a year ago. The improvement was substantial, not just on my skin and eyes but also my stool, so I’m definitely not going back to business as usual. While I didn’t find the evidence touted by Dr. G. convincing, I thought I might give it a try, but I have all along been aware that any improvement could be due to elimination of one or more foods, given how many food types a lectin-free diet eliminates. Will try to look more into FODMAP and fructans and see if I can spot a pattern that could also fit why I have seen an improvement. One thing, though - the argument that it is unlikely that someone may spot something what thousands of PhDs have overlooked isn’t valid. That’s basically how progress in science happens. And also the reason why I tried going lectin-free despite not finding the existing evidence convincing. It takes time to accumulate evidence, particularly since new ideas aren’t always welcome.

One burns glucose and one burns fat. If the toxic SAD diet damages the glucose process then legumes might become a problem as they provide glucose. The legumes aren't the problem, the damaged mitochondrial glucose energy pathway is the problem. The key is keeping the mitochondria nourished and healthy -- both the glucose and fat pathways.

Did the researchers describe how the legumes were prepared in the legume study cited? Were the legumes prepared by soaking them overnight or over several days to break down the lectins in the legumes with the use of fermentation? Also were the beans pressure cooked in order to breakdown lectin concentration in the legumes using the higher temperatures that can be achieved in a pressure cooker versus a standard two quart cooking pot or was this level of detail left out the report as it was left out of this KZbin video discussion?

I wonder, though... it is very well that it might be fructans and not gluten that is causing sensitivity in some people, but given that fructans and gluten both occur in certain foods, the result is that those foods should be avoided by people with confirmed sensitivity to them. In the end, it does not really matter which of the two substances causes the sensitivity...

I enjoy your podcasts as they generally are not aligned with what I think and it is important that we don’t just sit in echo chambers. In terms of lectins, the fact that there are only 2 cases of ‘mass lectin poisoning’ doesn’t mean that many individuals don’t suffer from this without knowing why. Certainly, a touch of upset stomach isn’t that unusual (hence sales of Imodium). my experience is that the vast majority of the time I couldn’t say with any certainty what might have caused it. Secondly, I really wish that epidemiology would not be labeled as Science! Or at least people would be far clearer when they rely on epidemiological studies. At one point in the video an RCT was quoted and then the discussion veered to what was clearly citations from an epidemiological study without this being highlighted. Finally, I’m afraid there are examples of where the majority of the medical profession is likely simply wrong. Diabetes (T2) is a good example. My own endocrinologist still believes diabetes to be a progressive, chronic condition (as do the majority of his peers), yet simply by reducing carb intake, mine has been ‘in remission’ for over 10 years (without medication) and by any standard blood test I would’ in fact, be considered non diabetic. Clearly then, the condition is not necessarily progressive. Personally, I non’t eat legumes or whole grains as it wouldn’t be long before I’d need diabetic medication again!

I'm on your side of this discussion! Meat has been villainized for so long by the food industry and 'researchers' that are biased. If they weren't they wouldn't be doing 'the study'. I believe eatable animals pre-process the food they eat in a way that provides every human's needs for a healthy existence.

@@dalydegagne1839 simply because it isn’t scientific. It is statistics. Finding an association between one number and another is not a science. There is a famous graph that shows an almost perfect correlation between margarine consumption and divorce in the state of Maine - I don’t think anyone would call that scientific? Statistical observations can certainly lead to interesting hypotheses - yet they remain that, simple hypotheses. To then headline as ‘red meat causes diabetes’ (or vegan diets make you live longer or whatever other nonsense) is frankly disingenuous and relies on most of the population not understanding what can be relied upon as a causal relationship. Don’t even get me started on ‘adjusting for confounders’. Once you start adjusting for anything but extremely factual things (such as population size) then it becomes highly subjective based on even more unproven hypotheses. If people want to make decisions based on such ‘scientific evidence’, then good luck to them! However, so called scientists should not be putting their names to such badly worded, unproven ideas!

Thank you for calling that misinformation out. I watched a video that guy put out about the dangers of lectins and have also spent hours being lectured by well-meaning friends who have jumped on his bandwagon about how bad grains are for you. Dr. Li also counteracts this in his talks and books. My friends think hunter gathers did not have grains in their diets, and therefore, grains are not natural for us to eat. I have watched numerous archeology digs of caves and other seasonal shelters that hunter gathers used. All of which showed local plants, including grains, as staples of their diet. I even tried to get my friends to read a book I have. It was written years ago, but still relevant, by a heart specialist and his nutritionalist wife in Montreal. It talked about the importance of whole grains in our diet and his observation of his patients relating to that. Unfortunately, especially when it comes from a seemingly (or should I say formerly) esteemed person, sensationalism sells better to some. My friends drank the kool-aid, as have others. Please continue to counteract misinformation. You are becoming a new favorite of mine. Thank-you so much!

the massive production, and its storage to supply the ever increasing population with food required the addition of "product life extenders" in whole grains and still does in all the foods we eat. Many molds and other toxins are an age old problem with storage ,though the additive phases have exacerbated it. Without them our population would be much smaller as hunter gathers.

I need help here…Dr. stated that legumes are healthy to eat when properly cooked since the lectin content isn’t significant. However, he later stated that fructans in the granola bar contributed to the most digestive issues. The problem is, red kidney beans are considered high in frructans and it appears they don’t cook away so easily as lectins. How do you rectify this? Wouldn’t red kidney beans be potentially unhealthy or harmful if while their lectin content is low they are still high in fructans?

Sorry, but this is an unbalanced -- and even biased -- podcast because it sets out to "disprove" (or at least debunk the contention) that lectins are bad for YOU. Is that for ALL of us? Is that ALL lectins? What if we already have IBS or leaky guts? The problem it does NOT acknowledge (and from ZOE of all outfits?!?) is that there are a multitude of different GI conditions that come about for a multitude of different reasons. One size does not fit all, just as one rat does not equal one human -- a point made in the podcast. I am astonished that the discussion made such broad, generalized sweeps to wash over these many, individual conditions without making it VERY CLEAR at the beginning that IF you have a perfectly healthy gut, there MAY NOT BE any reason to avoid lectins. BUT, if you are looking for ways to control or reduce your inflammatory responses to foods, your experience may be different, and "we'd love to hear from you"! Dr. Bulsiewicz cites a study [at 12:02 - which study?] looking into the effects of a high legume diet versus a diet with no legumes. We have to assume that both sets of subjects in the study were in good health: no GI problems, no IBS, etc. And there's the problem: how about citing a study that showed the diet's effect on those who DID have GI problems, IBS, etc? It's like citing a study on peanut allergies that used only people who were not allergic to peanuts. Sure, peanuts have health benefits, but not if you're already allergic to them! Other commentators here have said how Dr. Gundry is not banning lectins entirely. He advocates allowing them back into the diet gradually and cautiously, and properly cooked, after a period of staged abstinence to allow the gut to recover -- from something which may not have anything to do with lectins, initially, but which may be exacerbated by their continued presence. From my own experience, when you are looking for relief from recurrent 'inflammation storms' that take over your entire body and you manage to find relief from such a 'lectin holiday', it's a win! Yes, it could be something like the fructans in gluten-containing grains, i.e. an unidentified factor, but how long do you wait for the science (and your GP) to catch up? No, you help yourself however you can, and hope the funding for studies involving real sufferers materializes asap.

I agree, this was biased. It seemed to poo-poo any nuances in favour of calling out Gundry’s assertions. It seems arrogant to assert that lectins couldn’t be a genuine problem for some. I will read studies, but I’ll also listen to my body. I’m not saying swallow Gundry’s ideas without Qn, to be clear, but we should test everything, it’s not wise to dismiss them without acknowledging lectins could well be an issue for some just as much as any other food compound. This video felt … condescending in it’s blanket response.
