Lectins and fiber flours


(Full Metal KETO AF) #21

@Alpha Lettuce is a very low lectin vegetable as are leafy greens. That’s why you’re likely tolerating them better than maybe nightshades and some other lectin rich vegetables. As you say, “God/nature running the show not smart, it’s exactly the opposite. Lectin in plants is a defense mechanism to help them (seeds) survive by not being a good food source for some birds and other animals causing illness or death. The animal kingdom seems to have inborn knowledge that certain berries and seeds are not good as food for them to eat.
