With over 17,000 reviews and top rankings in allergies and heart disease books, it offers a clinically proven, easy-to-follow protocol to detoxify the body, repair gut health, and optimize longevity through smart food choices and lectin avoidance hacks. ## Description From renowned cardiac surgeon Steven R. Gundry, MD, the New York Times bestselling The Plant Paradox is a revolutionary look at the hidden compounds in "healthy" foods like fruit, vegetables, and whole grains that are causing us to gain weight, trigger inflammation, and develop chronic disease. 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, leaky gut syndrome, 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 , this essential healthy eating guide shares his 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. Review: This book will change your life!!!!!!!!! - This book is life changing. A must for everyone who wants improve their life situation. I'm 66 years old and have always been in pretty good health, but always knew something was not right. Have taken supplements for decades, and was still not feeling 100%. Have been buying and eating a so-called healthy diet most of my life. My Dad lived 84 years, and my Mom 97 years. Two years ago I got DVT (deep vein thrombosis) in my left leg, and started to research this condition and found a book on prevention and reversing it. Vegetarian diet totally with lots of beans, legumes, fruit, no eggs, no fish, no oil especially extra virgin olive oil, whole grains, no nuts except walnuts, no avocados, and no coconut. Well, I adhered to this as much as possible, but my entire gastro-intestinal system was still a mess, and to be quite honest, the food did not taste that well. I got introduced to Dr. Gundry with an infomercial about his PrebioThrive powder with an attached email. Sounded interesting, so I clicked on the link and watch. Like what he said so I bought a 3 month supply. This was back in February. As soon as I started taking this product I notice a change right away. I have been battling basal cell carcinoma for over 40 years, and when I hear anything related to skin issues, I get very interested. What I noticed with his powder is that my skin started to feel smoother. Very impressed, so when this book came out, I ordered it immediately. I haven't even got through the first part (Part I), but I got a list of the foods I needed to start his diet, and the results are a miracle for me. Still taking the powder and have been on this diet for a week now. The following is a list of observations so far. Some of this is graphic so I hope not to offend. 1. My stools used to have lots of deposits of mucous attached when looking into the bowl as it flushed. Those are totally gone and my stools have never looked better, and no more mucous. 2. My urine used to be a very deep and dark yellow in spite of drinking many fluids throughout the day. That is completely gone as well. Now when I look into the bowl, it is a very light yellow. 3. On the old diet, the food did not taste that well. Now my taste buds are in absolute heaven. Food has not tasted this good in a very long time. 4. On the old diet, which included a lot of grains, I was craving food all day long, and never felt satisfied, with a slightly upset stomach. Now, I don't crave food all day, and when I eat, I really enjoy it. Have noticed that the food is so enjoyable that I'm actually chewing it longer. 5. For most of my life, my muscles tighten throughout the day with an activity, so I started doing stretching over 40 years ago. The old diet contributed to a lot of inflammation that if I did not stretch before I went to bed, I would wake up with cramps in my left leg and would not sleep well the rest of the night. Now that I'm on this new diet, I can really tell that a huge portion of my inflammation is going away. I really notice this in the morning when I first wake up. Before this diet, I could really feel the inflammation. And now, I hardly notice it. And that is only one week folks!!! For the first time in my life so far, I have found the answer to restore my health. This book is an eye opener and will change your life only for the better. I highly recommend this book, and I also recommend his PrebioThrive powder. Everything that affects your life starts with what you put into your mouth. I am still in shock how all of this has changed so dramatically in just one week. Review: The Plant Paradox: The Hidden Dangers… - Dr. Steven R. Gundry’s Fascinating, Fact-Filled Book - My initial exposure to Dr. Gundry was watching an interview that was conducted with him by a well-known and respected doctor in this country. This video made me want to purchase this book, so that I would have the complete information at hand, to easily locate material at any time. His book mirrors his interview, in terms of how the information that he gives the public is arranged. For example, during the first and second parts of the book, Dr. Gundry clearly, and at times, with a sense of humor, lays out his professional and personal background, which drove him to set the groundwork for using his professional knowledge of scientific and medical research into the human body and lectins to write this coherent book. He also includes some interesting case studies, making what he says come to life. During the third part of the book, Dr. Gundry goes into meal plans and recipes. At the end of the book is the Notes section, which contains 13 pages. Following that section is the Index, which also has 13 pages. From a general reader’s standpoint, this book is very interesting, especially at the beginning, because the author presents the information in a relaxed, informal, and sometimes, personally-engaging way; this type of presentation guarantees that the general audience will keep its interest and not get hung up and bogged down unduly with too much science or medical jargon. For those of us who do love the science and research aspect to this book, the Notes section will satisfy our cravings. For those readers who want to skip around, I would suggest that they DO NOT do this because the material is laid out in such a way that the reader may not understand a concept that may have been discussed at an earlier time in the book. One last thing that may not be noticeable: Unfortunately, from an editing/ publishing perspective, the page numbers seem to employ multiple fonts and sizes - together in 1 number, which is not at all standard or even accepted in properly-published materials! His editor should have corrected this before the book was published. For example, on page 232, the page is published as 232 (with the 3 raised up to several different font sizes), while on page 233, it is published as 233 (with the 33 raised up several different font sizes). There is no reason why this publishing problem could have occurred unless the editor was rushed and made some last-minute additions, which threw the entire numbering and font systems off. I have never seen anything like this in a professionally-printed book from a major publisher before. (Hopefully, one day, this 1st edition will become a '1st edition collector’s item'!) I’m sure that Dr. Gundry, the editor, and the publisher, Harper Wave, a division of Harper Collins, a well-known and respected company, know this and will have it corrected in the second edition of the book when it comes out. The general public probably won’t notice it, and it doesn’t obstruct what the author says in this book in any way. Dr. Gundy has a private practice, and he understands that most people won’t be able to visit him for a consultation, so this book is especially written for them. After reading this book and practicing what the Dr. says, those people who can visit him professionally may be compelled to do so. For the rest of us, we have a great book on health and diet (with the science to back this up) to add to our bookshelves, written by a very interesting person. I highly recommend this book (even for people who only want to buy it for the recipes or as a '1st edition collector's item')! ## Features - “Dr. Gundry is a true trailblazer, always at the forefront of scientific knowledge. The Plant Paradox shows the world what pioneer thinking is about and is a must-read book for anyone interested in being as healthy as nature has designed them to be.” —Alejandro Junger MD, New York Times bestselling author of Clean, Clean Gut and Clean Eats - “The Plant Paradox elegantly explains how plants defend themselves from being consumed by humans, and how eating the wrong ones at the wrong times immeasurably hurts our health.
