Do You Eat Lectins?

Not all lectins are evil. Some reports are simply making broad statements that are scaring too many people. Lectins are made by plants to help protect themselves in nature.

Clotting and Inflammation
Did you know some lectins help reduce dangerous clotting in the body and have anti-inflammatory properties? In fact pharmaceutical labs are integrating research trying to duplicate them into a prescription medication.

As for beans, an article in the Archives of Internal Medicine showed that eating a few servings a week cuts heart attack rate by 22%. Beans also have effects on reducing blood pressure and block an enzyme for which many people take a drug. Don’t forget the macrobiotic diets that include beans and the positive effects with cancer patients.

Not eating beans because of the lectins? Consider the science showing that some beans actually have an anti-aging property that helps reduce the arterial stiffness.
