What are Lectins?

Dr. Gundry, m y health hero and the author of The Plant Paradox, has just posted a video on YouTube about what lectins are and why are they bad for you.  He explains it so simply.  Take a moment to watch it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRB7OzGupTY

Pressure Cooking Lectins Out of Foods

I just had to share this  great video by Dr. Gundry ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRTC-E58ChA&feature=em-uploademail My husband and I use our pressure cooker multiple times a week, and let me just say - it works!  If you don't have one of the new varieties, go out and get one.
