As research continues to bear out, a healthy microbiome or "gut" is the cornerstone of human health. The foods we eat at the beginning of our lives have a long-term impact on the makeup of our microbiome. Lectin-containing foods such as grains, legumes, certain fruits and vegetables, and conventional dairy damage it by creating holes in the gut wall and triggering the kind of systemic inflammation that lays the groundwork for disease. And yet, many of the foods we are routinely told to feed our children think milk, whole grain bread, peanut butter have an incredibly high lectin content.

With a quick-start program designed to boost weight loss and recipes for smoothies, breakfasts, main meals, snacks, and desserts, The Plant Paradox Recipebook will show readers the benefits of The Plant Paradox and more on how delicious it can be to eat lectin-free.★★★
