Shoud you eat lentils? Lentils and their lectin content are a misunderstood topic. What are they? And why does everyone seem to hate them? In this video, I go into the truth about lectins and look at the advantages and disadvantages of eating lentils and legumes. These proteins are the plant's protective defense mechanism against insects, bugs, microbes and pests. If a person is sensitive, you could experience all sorts of digestive stress. #Truthaboutlectins #Lectinissues

Great vid again mate! Seems like you're doing better. I eat lentils very rarely. Might have to buy a packet sometime soon lol!

[alexanderdiazlarsson]

Interesting, eating lentils made me feel better than ever! I had stomach issues on keto, carnivore, caveman diet etc! Adding lentils to the mix fixed my stomach and restored my energy levels! I guess this goes to show how everyone is different!

I just ate lentils for the first time.... And now I'm watching this oh lordy lol

[nishisaxena]

I don’t understand if you are saying lentil is good or bad ?

[shifuugincii]

basically, boil or pressure cook the hell out of your legumes before eating them

[juhugricko]

All you have to do to get rid of lectins in lentils is pressure cook them. That way you get all the benefits and no harmful lectins.

I'll never give up my lentil potatoes stew in instapot!

As organic vegan I consume a lot of beans With avocados nuts and herbs they’re my main source of nutrients It’s true that beans and lentils might cause digestive discomfort However there’re ways around it You might consider eating smaller portions or try different types of beans I use immersion blender for my lentils and it works for me

The bottle line is is lentil safe to eat or not?
Are all beans bad due to the lectin content?

[marisalove]

Wondering how long does Red lentils last for inside the package without going bad? I have had mine for at least 5 years and debating if I should eat it or not? Please let me know 👍 Thanks

I just started eating lentils daily and notice severe lower GI inflammation. I thought it might be lectins. I'm going to start soaking them overnight and cooking, then pour off the water. If it's not lectins, perhaps it's a pest spray. I've tried different sources, but organic isn't available. Thank you for the information. Any suggestions are appreciated.
BTW, what kind of squirrel 🐿️ is that beauty with the long red ears and feet at the intro?

But your Ansel Keys video says people were misled about how harmful cholesterol is. So I'm confused now, should people consume it or not? I thought our body produces all the cholesterol it needs? Could you clarify please? Thank you. I like how you speak clearly and deliberately and don't feel the need to raise your voice or yell to make a point. I find it very enjoyable to listen to, so I subscribed.

nice informative video! i understand that the lectins in lentils are concentrated in the skins...so, the pink lentils with the skin removed would have less or no lectins! however, i recently gave a friend a lentil waffle and she had a severe reaction in her arthritic hands. any idea why that would happen? cheers

[alysononoahu]

Just cook lentils to reduce harmuls

Who eats raw lentils 😂😂

[maurrissa]

Thank you for the information:)
I’ll continue eating lentils and cooking them to death:) xxx

Please know that legumes are NOT in the nightshade family and lectins are NOT exclusive to nightshades and anyone who even did a small amount of research into food plants or just knows a bit of botany would know that. If you're missing out on a piece of information that's that easy to find I'm not sure how to take the rest of your video, appreciate the effort bud
