b'Financial Sense Newshour discusses the new and controversial book, The Plant Paradox: The Hidden Dangers in "Healthy" Foods That Cause Disease and Weight Gain, with author Dr. Steven Gundry. Most of us have heard of glutena 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 weve 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.
