I am a registered dietitian and Gundry is a quack in the nutrition science world. He is just trying to sell something. Look at the Blue Zones in the world where people often live to 100 with very little chronic disease. They all have beans in common in their diets. If I were you, I would follow http://www.nutritionfacts.org . NUTRITIONFACTS.ORG is a science-based nonprofit organization founded by Michael Greger, M.D. FACLM, that provides free updates on the latest in nutrition research via bite-sized videos, blogs, podcasts, and infographics.

I've often suspected that "lectins" blaming might be a false panacea. Thank you.

Your comments about beans is interesting because I believe it was Gundry's research and living in a "Blue Zone" that got him interested in diet. Perhaps, he is onto something but hasn't got it quite right yet.

I think there is more to the "lectin" bit. e.g. a lot of our food that our ancestors ate has been altered either by GMOs or the way they are farmed. I have to agree with the theory that our parent's diets were better than ours. They had less preservatives. They ate more saurkraut, etc.
