Product Information
I read this book... it worked. My autoimmune disease is gone and I'm 37 pounds lighter in my pleather. --Kelly Clarkson Most of us have heard of gluten-a protein found in wheat that causes widespread inflammation in the body. Americans spend billions of dollars on gluten-free diets in an effort to protect their health. But what if we've been missing the root of the problem In The Plant Paradox, renowned cardiologist Dr. Steven Gundry reveals that gluten is just one variety of a common, and highly toxic, plant-based protein called lectin. Lectins are found not only in grains like wheat but also in the gluten-free foods most of us commonly regard as healthy, including many fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans, and conventional dairy products. These proteins, which are found in the seeds, grains, skins, rinds, and leaves of plants, are designed by nature to protect them from predators (including humans). Once ingested, they incite a kind of chemical warfare in our bodies, causing inflammatory reactions that can lead to weight gain and serious health conditions. At his waitlist-only clinics in California, Dr. Gundry has successfully treated tens of thousands of patients suffering from autoimmune disorders, diabetes, leaky gut syndrome, heart disease, and neurodegenerative diseases with a protocol that detoxes the cells, repairs the gut, and nourishes the body. Now, in The Plant Paradox, he shares this clinically proven program with readers around the world. The simple (and daunting) fact is, lectins are everywhere. Thankfully, Dr. Gundry offers simple hacks we easily can employ to avoid them, including: Peel your veggies. Most of the lectins are contained in the skin and seeds of plants; simply peeling and de-seeding vegetables (like tomatoes and peppers) reduces their lectin content. Shop for fruit in season. Fruit contain fewer lectins when ripe, so eating apples, berries, and other lectin-containing fruits at the peak of ripeness helps minimize your lectin consumption. Swap your brown rice for white. Whole grains and seeds with hard outer coatings are designed by nature to cause digestive distress-and are full of lectins. With a full list of lectin-containing foods and simple substitutes for each, a step-by-step detox and eating plan, and delicious lectin-free recipes, The Plant Paradox illuminates the hidden dangers lurking in your salad bowl-and shows you how to eat whole foods in a whole new way.Product Identifiers

A pause for thought
The book looks at optimum human diet from a new angle. It's a book that makes you think, whether you agree with the author or not. In a world where the food industry jumps on the latest band wagon of "healthy' eating, the book really gives you pause for thought.Once you fine tune your diet away from 'processed food and beyond all-year-round-strawberries, there's a whole new level beyond the usual mass production pitfalls (sprays), especially when you eat too much of 'a good thing'. Given that a lot of illness is caused by internal inflammation originating from the gut, this book offers additional, simple adjustments that may be of use.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Smart plants, not so smart humanbeings.
Well written and explanations that make sense. Very compelling book.Also great for those looking to diet, or find out why your sick all the time. I recommend this to anyone who is interested in the food we eat and the lies behind why we eat what we do and think it's healthy.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

PDF verses the book
Loved the book and are currently making changes to my diet to follow the logic and arguments put forward by the author but I erred in getting the pdf. It works for some but I prefer the hard copy. Unfortunately I thought I had ordered a book and was disappointed to realise I hadn’t so ultimately I bought the book anyway. Great book and I’m hoping the lifestyle changes will have a great impact on my wellbeingVerified purchase: YesCondition: New
