Fortunately, most people will not experience the extensive damage that can be caused by eating foods that contain lectin. This is true for a number of reasons, mostly genetic and epigenetic.
But as with gluten, if enough lectin is consumed on a regular basis, damage can be done.
Keep in mind that cancer is caused by prolonged, chronic low-grade inflammation in the body.
As if things weren’t bad enough, people in the business of genetically engineering foods are busy inserting a chemical called prohevein into tomatoes.
Prohevein is a principle allergen found in rubber latex. It could cause a dramatic increase in allergic reactions in those with latex sensitivities. The worst part: They would be completely unaware that they were eating the very thing that caused their allergy.
