Why do you suggest forgoing legumes?

• robchez 15y ago
  this has got to do more with health rather than weight loss i guess. legumes have 3 things that suck - lectins, protease inhibitors and phytates lectins - known to cause inflammation and have been show to cause gut permeability which is followed by auto-immune type diseases. protease inhibitors intefere with the breakdown of proteins into amino acids phytates have been shown to inhibit mineral absorption

    I call bull shit. This sounds like some Paleo-diet nonsense rather than the result of rigorous scientific study.

  Why did he make any of those suggestions? I don't know because he didn't provide any citations to research papers.
