Have been called "pseudoscience" by a "dietitian and journalist" writing for the Washington Post, not by a scientist; that's the source Wikipedia uses to backup their "pseudoscience" claim. The article is rather short, and it seems like mainstream science doesn't discount the risk of inflammation and autoinflammation from lectins at all[0]. Whether cutting out lectins is a good diet for most people is in debate, but whether lectins can be harmful is not.
I don't find it comforting that an opinion article in a newspaper can turn into "encyclopedic truth", and then come to define a man's life even in unrelated issues.
