Can we finally put the idea of "lectins are bad" in the trash?! TY Dr. Li for being straight and quite diplomatic as well.

[mikepetrilli]

Thanks for this Dr...my 100 year old Italian mother has been eating tomatos, beans and other foods that Gundry says will kill you. Well I guess no one told my 100 year old Italian mother😂😂😂.

[marklord]

Someone needs to relay this information to Dr. Gundry, a popular youtube doctor whose main message is to stay away from lectins.

[jaylinn]

Dr. Li is so informative!! I am really glad that I came across this video. Just say no to lectin phobia!

[charlenecausey]

Great information! Thank you! I love history! 💜
I never believed what Gundry proposed. Seemed illogical.

[tomunderwood]

The Italians traditionally removed the seeds and skins before making sauce. Why?

[dwightj.]

Ignorance is Man greatest enemy.
Thanks for sharing Doctor.

[chrischan]

Thanks for the clarification!

The so called "urban legend" "Lectin is poisonous" is getting more confusing as many youtubes out there give conflicting argument about Lectin.

[GygaxGirl]

I love tomatoes, potatoes, and red peppers. I will keep pressure cooking my beans because it cuts gassiness 😮 . I appreciate this information.

[jeannettelinthicum]

I'm very open minded to what I hear and what I try out in my own lifestyle. Call me a human guinea pig but I cut out all processed foods and lectins and I have never felt better. I love cucumber but if I do not peel them and take the seeds out I feel horrible so maybe some people can tolerate some foods better than others. Everyone has to kinda figure it out for themselves because we are not all the same

[CAJONEZ]

The same can be said of cholesterol, essential for cell reproduction. The form of lectin that humans need comes from animal products, they have no problem digesting beans, we do, hence farting, cramps, diarrhea. Not to mention starches and unecessary sugars make you fat. Animals eat plants. They can digest them. Thats why we eat them.

[veganlifestyleloveanimals]

Dr Cyrus Khambatta just spoke about this too. He said the same also.

[ACL]

Wow, I didn't know that about the lead and tomatoes! Hearing more of the history and context of some of the disinformation about other foods would be great.
And this lectin stuff is insane, so thanks for debunking.

[ronmexico]

Let me guess. Gundry sells a lectins removal pill

[OakwiseBecoming]

His explanation was convoluted. I’ve always loved tomatoes and eaten them. But I’ve felt like crap most of my adult life. So I’m exploring if nightshades are toxic not because some aristocratic dorks ate lead poisoned tomatoes 300 years ago and ruined it for everyone, but because doctors have not been able to help me not feel like crap so I’m looking at my diet. Many people are reporting feeling better by avoiding nightshades.

Incidentally, I have been trying to eat simply for a few weeks with mainly rice and meats. I had beef, rice, tomato, and kidney beans last night. I woke up at 4am totally inflamed, woke up later in the morning hurting everywhere. Had watery runs with bean skins in it! Proving I can’t digest bean skins. So now I have to see if it was the tomatoes or beans or both. So this doctor can jump off a cliff with his arrogance.

[philphilphil]

Incredibly interesting and informative. The fear and misinformation in nutrition is crazy. Thanks for sharing this clip.

[doncole]

Always enjoy listening to the wisdom of Dr Lee.

[jetsetter]

Which Lectins are harmful to the human ?
Which body cells are mainly targeted by Lectins causing inflammation ?

[tomunderwood]

Why is it important to soak raw beans before cooking and eating?

[gbp]

Many elders peel and deseed tomatoes. That says enough for me
