I found this article very entertaining and interesting as I am familiar with Dr. Gundry. I think we all need to listen to our bodies and eat what is healthy and what we can tolerate. We are not all created equal. We are all individuals and have different chemical makeups. Thank you for your sense of humor Ocean. Laughter is good for the soul!

Enjoyed your article on lectins. Now, I’m a vegan and I just read a book on oxalates with the similar approach as Gundry that they’re not good for anything and can only be tolerated in very small (cooked) amounts, if vegetable, or just plain zero in meat, dairy, eggs (where I’m not going)

A hearty salute to you, Captain Lectin! (Might you be related to Hannibal Lectin, who has been claiming you two are cousins?)

Gundry, given his swagger, his tinseled braggadosio, his pontificating and lengthy pronouncements of his world-wide fame, should sign his signature The Great Gundry!

I am so glad to read this. There are a lot of videos on YouTube right now telling us that over 60’s must not eat this, and that, and the other I am 84 and have had no problems with nightshades or any other veg but these videos ‘for the elderly’ are really not doing any favours for the elderly and discouraging them from many foods that are so beneficial….

Thank you Ocean, I eat a lot of healthy night shade produce,which I personally prepare,your information is well informed, correct,and to the point. I have a problem navigating Dr.Gundry’s information,as I definitely don’t have the money to go with all those stuff he’s recommending. Keep up the good work,I appreciate it.

Thank you for this article. Following Gundry’s advice would eliminate most of the healthy foods I eat. Potatoes, tomatoes, peanuts? I’ve been eating these for decades without problems. Not overweight, I’m 70 and I eat potatoes and eggs almost every day.

I think you are generalizing about Gundry’s book as you say he is generalizing about lectins in general. He doesn’t say don’t eat beans – just pressure cook them.. No big shock there. And he doesn’t say don’t eat vegetables and fruits. Its the seeds in some produce that can negatively affect some people. Its not as black and white as you make it out to be. For folks who have autoimmune conditions its important to have an awareness of lectins so you can make choices if you notice some adverse reactions. HIs book was called paradox for a reason bc lots of plants have good and negative aspects about them, as you stated in your article. Awareness is always a good tool for the consumer
