In "The Plant Paradox," Dr. Steven R. Gundry MD unveils the unseen battle waged in our bellies, challenging the long-held belief that the colorful array of plants on our plates is unequivocally good for us. With an insightful examination, Gundry exposes the secret arsenal plants employ against predators, including humans—a group of proteins known as lectins. Found in the seeds, grains, skins, leaves, and even the "healthy" fruits and vegetables we consume daily, these lectins are revealed to be at the heart of many inflammatory diseases. Dr. Gundry doesn't just diagnose the problem; he offers a life-altering solution. With a comprehensive list of lectin-laden foods and their safer alternatives, a detailed detox and eating plan, and a trove of delicious lectin-free recipes, "The Plant Paradox" is a revolutionary guide. It promises to transform your diet, helping you to eat consciously and healthily by avoiding the hidden dangers lurking in your salad bowl. Through this groundbreaking book, Dr. Gundry empowers readers to reclaim their health and wellness, one lectin-free meal at a time.
