Lectin-Free Diet

The Lectin-Free Diet, popularized by Dr. Steven Gundry, is more restrictive than the average healthy diet due to its elimination of beans, grains, and nightshades. Evidence from multiple nutrition scientists indicates that lectins in cooked foods pose no threat, contradicting the diet's core premise. A 2020 review in Nutrients found that 90% of lectin-related health claims lack robust clinical backing, making its restrictions less justified than even the Blood Type Diet's debated guidelines.
