Tldr: gluten is a lectin, lectins bind to minerals Gluten and glutinin are part of the lectin group. Superfood marketeers call it phyto nutrients but these chemicals are meant to protect the plant and when you keep eating the same veggies, seeds, tubers for years you will end up with deficiencies. Lectins in particular are meant to pull in nutrients so the seed can become a plant. As far as I understood, the minerals are then chemically bound and certain enzymes are needed to splice them. If you don't have those, you're peeing out your nutrients.
