La Paradoja Vegetal

Reseña del libro

La mayoria de nosotros hemos oido hablar del gluten, una proteina que se encuentra en el trigo que causa inflamacion generalizada en el cuerpo. Los estadounidenses gastan miles de millones de dolares en dietas sin gluten en un esfuerzo por proteger su salud. Pero que pasa si estamos perdiendo la raiz del problema? En The Plant Paradox, el reconocido cardiologo Dr. Steven Gundry revela que el gluten es solo una variedad de una proteina vegetal comun y altamente toxica llamada lectina. Las lectinas se encuentran no solo en granos como el trigo, sino tambien en los alimentos ""sin gluten"" que la mayoria de nosotros comunmente consideramos saludables. Estas proteinas, que se encuentran en las semillas, granos, pieles, cascaras y hojas de las plantas, estan disenados por la naturaleza para protegerlos de los depredadores (incluidos los seres humanos). Ahora, en The Plant Paradox, el autor comparte este programa clinicamente probado con lectores de todo el mundo. / Most of us have heard of gluten, a protein found in wheat that causes widespread inflammation in the body. Americans spend billions of dollars on gluten-free diets in an effort to protect their health. But what if weve been missing the root of the problem? In The Plant Paradox, renowned cardiologist Dr. Steven Gundry reveals that gluten is just one variety of a common, and highly toxic, plant-based protein called lectin. Lectins are found not only in grains like wheat but also in the gluten-free foods most of us commonly regard as healthy, including many fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans, and conventional dairy products. These proteins, which are found in the seeds, grains, skins, rinds, and leaves of plants, are designed by nature to protect them from predators (including humans). Once ingested, they incite a kind of chemical warfare in our bodies, causing inflammatory reactions that can lead to weight gain and serious health conditions. At his waitlist-only clinics in California, Dr. Gundry has successfully treated tens of thousands of patients suffering from autoimmune disorders, diabetes, leaky gut syndrome, heart disease, and neurodegenerative diseases with a protocol that detoxes the cells, repairs the gut, and nourishes the body. Now, in The Plant Paradox, he shares this clinically proven program with readers around the world.
