Dr. Gundry, you do not have an idea of how much you have helped me! I do not get tired of saying thanks to you. I follow your lectins free diet, very happy with it, and my body is healthier and happier than before I found you. You are the best!

[@GundryMDYT]

This brightened up our day! 🙂 Thank you for sharing!

[@raewyn-annford9745]

Thats for sure. Thank you.

Re: microgreens being good but expensive, I grow them in the kitchen and it costs 20 cents a week for seeds, and ten seconds a day to water them.

[@qinglan2982]

what seeds did you grow?

[@rociosantana86]

Dear Dr. Gundry you saved my life. Thank you for all your knowledge. God bless you.

[@ileanacat7814]

You are simply the BEST Dr G!!!! I finally became a patient of yours and your Physician’s Assistant, Mitsu, guided me through my blood work with a fine tooth comb!!! I’m following your recommendations now right to the letter and I can’t wait for my second blood test to see my improvement!!! Thanks so much for all your guidance and passion to help us!!!

[@reggiedunlop2222]

You’re fortunate to be a patient of Dr. Gundry! Best of luck and good health to you…Please keep us posted with your progress 🙏🏼

[@lindag9975]

Thanks. I love growing Swiss chard. I also grow spinach, Egyptian spinach, Malabar spinach (from the beet family), and bright colors of lettuces. This winter when I plant my broccoli, I ordered more seeds to be able to pick the tiny sprouts as a micro green super food.

[@seemaprasad6677]

Dr Gundry, please do a video on Indian/Oriental vegetables. Thanks.

[@nena-clara6270]

Oh Yes!!! I love endives, radicchio, arugula, romaine lettuce ❤

Thank you for your feedback! 🙌

[@Stilleett]

Dr. Gundry, thank you for another interesting issue. I have some questions, please answer: 1. If a person has an enlarged thyroid gland, are cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower) not dangerous? 2. Chard: I read that it contains a lot of potassium and folic acid, and if there is a lot there will be thick blood, platelets and an increase in cholesterol levels. What do you say about the chard?

[@YaraPNdeSa]

Pretty awesome, Dr. Gundry! Thank you for this series, I've been enjoying it a lot.

Chlorella cell wall is cracked by freezing and thawing , maybe seaweed will too, I think lectins in sprouts is only when under 1”

[@victoriabrown8474]

Great video, as always. Just want to ask about the seaweed digestion aspect. I found a French microbiology research team published article ( in the scientific journal Nature ) its states that while "only Japanese people have the intestinal bacterium Bacteroides plebeius, which has the enzyme to break down porphyran polysaccharides," and "only Japanese people can digest raw seaweed"......this does not account for cooked seaweed?

[@thecliff4670]

I eat kale everyday because I thought it was the number vegetable. Well, that's what they've been pushing for years, along with blueberries.

[@arseniaventura4057]

Dr. Grundy, How about Moringa?

[@deep_space_dave]

If you grow your own microgreens which is really easy with kits out there I feel it should be in the S tier. Even if you just eat the sprouts before it matures into a plant is super healthy and easy to digest.

[@spirithonorsjeetkunedo1877]

Really good, love these rankings. 😊

[@Cuisine_Savoureuse]

Merci Dr Gundry, Je vous découvre depuis peu et vos videos sont tellement instructives...Encore merci

[@jeffer2350]

What about some beet greens? I freeze my leafy veggies (except cabbage) as soon as I buy them to preserve the quality. I then put them into my smoothies with my beets, avocado, and unsweetened coconut milk. Cacao or a Gundry approved fruit helps the flavor to make them go down smoothly!

[@ToniDJohns]

Helpful. Thank you !!

[@GundryMDYT]

Thank you for sharing, we appreciate your comment!

[@frank_58520]

Thank you Dr. Gundry. By following your list to avoid certain food, my leaky gut got so much better these years. By the way, I think refine oil is harder to avoid in my country(like soybean oil), it's been widely used in restaurant, or if we read the label carefully, it can be find almost any where.

[@catherinemolinasummers1413]

Dr Gundry, please do a video on malabar spinach, chaya tree spinach, moringa leaves, kutuk leaves, chive greens, and purslane leaves. These are i am growing extremely easily in my tropical Hawaiian yard along with with chase endive and arugula. Most other things don’t grow as well here… Giant snails and it's too warm, humid and salty. PLEASE it would be very helpful to know where these are ranking in your s-f list thank you very much

[@GundryMDYT]

Thank you for your feedback! We will take this into consideration for one of our videos.

[@firebird7479]

2 reasons I don't eat salads: 1. I don't like making them. 2. The fixings eventually go bad.

[@angela_ruberto]

UK doesn't have a ready supply of organic raddichio, endive or Chicory. Tried to grow my own nut failed due to bad weather. Hope gut health becomes a priority for suppliers. Only 50 years ago most food was organic.

[@noor77jojo]

THANK YOU ,especially for clearing the F section that was very important

[@HarrisPilton789]

Cruciferous sprouts are easy to grow indoors, and are super healthy.

[@macrum2472]

Thoughts on phytic acid? Is it best to lightly cook all these vegetables

[@jimkrajick5665]

I use radicchio in my smoothies. I like it because it takes a long time to go bad so I can store a bunch of it for a long time

[@jimkrajick5665]

Frozen berries, walnuts, radicchio, coconut milk 😋

[@RonnyMauldin]

What about green pea micro greens? I found a website or Instagram that said that even though peas and the sprouts have lectins, the microgreens do not have them.

[@GundryMDYT]

Is Lentil sprouts 🌱good for?

[@GundryMDYT]

Hello there, thanks for your question! Dr. Gundry recommends avoiding all legume sprouts as they contain a high amount of lectins.

I am so glad I'm learning a boat.Spinach, I know, if you cook spinach, you get more and out of it.And if you cook tomatoes , you get more vitamin c , but the thing with A man he should not have too much iron in his system. Because it can interfere with the heart.Correct me if i'm Wrong. I hope it wasn't a wife's tail that a man should not have food that's high in Iron and therefore should not cook out of the cast iron's frying PAN.

[@pjay6746]

I pretty much eat everything mentioned except seaweed, the "grasses," the stuff thay looks like artichoke hearts, and alfalfa sprouts. What about dinosaur kale (lacinato)? It's second only to rainbow chard for me

[@GundryMDYT]

Lacinato kale is Dr. Gundry approved and high in polyphenols! 🙌

[@susieinthecountry4434]

Please do a recap at the end so we can see which veggies are S and A.

[@reggiedunlop2222]

Recap starts @ 12:31

[@ReonBrand]

Swiss chard is incredibly high in oxalates. Should it get an A rating?

[@GundryMDYT]

We highly recommend reading our article on oxalates for Dr. Gundry's opinion on them! gundrymd.com/what-are-oxalates/

[@dad7275]

I think you have great advice and I appreciate it very much. I know of a southern dish that Im not even sure you have heard of but if you have Id like your input. Ive heard people say its not recommended to eat poke unless its its fully cooked first because its possibly toxic raw but is there any healthy benefits to it after cooked and then fried (thats how its prepared)? Thanks.

[@GundryMDYT]

Hi there! Due to high volume, Dr. Gundry is unable to answer every incoming question. We appreciate the time you took to write this question, we will submit it to our growing list of FAQs. Thank you!

[@lf4061]

I had a neighbor who assured me he was experienced and knew when and what parts of poke weed was safe to eat. He died after eating it. Not worth risking, in my opinion. We missed him very much.

[@dad7275]

@@lf4061 thanks for the advice and im sorry to read about that. I ate it quite a bit growing up but my mom and grandmother knew how to prepare it. I have heard its toxic raw. I would advise anyone to cook and fry it completely first. By the way if you prepare spinach the same way it tastes very similar and the spinach is safe!

[@lindak5036]

You have to research oxalates!

[@maidomaidonaidekka]

Swiss chard = Beta vulgaris ---->Family Amaranthaceae NOT Brassicaceae or (the older) Cruciferae. And KIMUCHI is made from Chinese cabbage, usually. Sauerkraut is made from cabbage.

[@SchroederBaker]

I love you Dr. Gundry, and you have changed my life, but spinach is not a crucifer. It's related to swiss chard and beets (family Amaranthaceae). Swiss chard and beets belong to the same family, but in the subfamily Chenopodiaceae. I used to love all three but now have to avoid them due to an oxalate problem! The greens I use the most are chicories (sunflower family) such as escarole, endive, and radicchio. Lettuce is in the sunflower family as well. Ignore your detractors. They don't have your deep understanding of evolution!

Arnt spinach, chards and mustard greens high in oxilates

[@stilmotionpicture]

I’m sure he knows that, although I believe he is just generalizing all these greens

[@jeffer2350]

Anything high in calcium in your meal with those oxalates will bind with them to make them no big deal.

Why are lectins so bad? I feel fine eating beans, tomatoes, seeds and everything else. Will I not live as long if I don't avoid these foods?

[@GundryMDYT]

Hi there! While there are many great benefits of following a lectin-free diet (like a boost in energy and improved gut health!) the preference of following this lifestyle is up to you. We recommend consulting with your primary care physician to discuss a plan that works best for your health.
