Ideal for health-conscious professionals seeking to outsmart conventional diet myths and achieve lasting wellness. ## Description From renowned cardiac surgeon Steven R. Gundry, MD, the New York Times bestselling The Plant Paradox is a revolutionary look at the hidden compounds in "healthy" foods like fruit, vegetables, and whole grains that are causing us to gain weight, trigger inflammation, and develop chronic disease. 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 we’ve 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, leaky gut syndrome, 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 , this essential healthy eating guide shares his clinically proven program with readers around the world. The simple (and daunting) fact is, lectins are everywhere. Thankfully, Dr. Gundry offers simple hacks we easily can employ to avoid them, including: Peel your veggies. Most of the lectins are contained in the skin and seeds of plants; simply peeling and de-seeding vegetables (like tomatoes and peppers) reduces their lectin content. Shop for fruit in season. Fruit contain fewer lectins when ripe, so eating apples, berries, and other lectin-containing fruits at the peak of ripeness helps minimize your lectin consumption. Swap your brown rice for white. Whole grains and seeds with hard outer coatings are designed by nature to cause digestive distress―and are full of lectins. With a full list of lectin-containing foods and simple substitutes for each, a step-by-step detox and eating plan, and delicious lectin-free recipes, The Plant Paradox illuminates the hidden dangers lurking in your salad bowl―and shows you how to eat whole foods in a whole new way. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Dimensions | 16.51 x 23.5 x 2.54 cm | | Edition | 1st | | Isbn 10 | 006242713X | | Isbn 13 | 978-0062427137 | | Item Weight | 294 g | | Language | English | | Print Length | 416 pages | | Publication Date | 1 Jun. 2017 | | Publisher | Harper Wave | ## Images ![The Plant Paradox: The Hidden Dangers in "Healthy" Foods That Cause Disease and Weight Gain – An NYT Bestselling Medical Nutrition Guide to Longevity and Wellness: 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81l3xKTTzNL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ that thing about green veg and other stuff most interesting that you never knew *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 22 January 2022* got it for the kindle readerand as you know somethings and sometimes you start to readand get so far into the book...'s with a kindle yes it'll save where you'veread to.. the furthest point. and as often as not, the thing will lose chargein the times i'm not using it so when you open it up after re-poweringit'll take you back to the book listand as you scan through you'll see a title and think did i finishthat story.. let's have a look.As is the case with this book got well into itit was interesting yes even if it is from an American standpointit still applies here in the uk as we seem to have adopted most if not all US farming practicesthe very worse of animal husbandry and with crop growing systems on an industrial scalemost of these have been imported from the land of the so called free.so this book was an eye opener to the truth of the failure of the American diet(dream)and the fat epidemic. but also it shines a light on other little known causes for chronicill health and still in practice here, most touted as healthy eating by the nhs with nothing changedfrom the low fat is good for you and no fat is even better lie. and the lies about heat refined vegetable oilbeing good for the body and sugar is not harmful or addictive fib. and how it is next to impossibleto escape from it as their all used in everything with deceptive names and clauses so it doesn't have to be declared on the ingredient list even when they say it is free from those nasty bad ingredients how the big stores allow it all to be in the product just to keep making large profits from the sugar addicted ignorance of their consumersAny how back to the book, it will open your mind to all the things you need to be aware of if you want to have a healthy pain free life, it'll show you the truth. things that you really should know that are not taught anywhere, not in schools or ever on the tv. and defiantly never offered by your private/general practise doctor pill pusher with the, take a couple of these you'll feel better drug med philosophymakes them seem Hench-gentleman/lady's and zombie droog's of the big pharma corporate monster.though i didn't need the book as i'd seen a few of the authors vlogs on youtube that go intogreater depth and detail on all the subjects in this bookAnd much much more he introduces other and varied health and life ideasby medical specialists world wide. a vast knowledge base to be explored at leisurepick and chose what you think you might follow and get round to being as and when the penny dropsand understanding seeps in helps your aim in banging that nail home beat the flab and beat the aches and pains what to avoid or limit so much you didn't know, you didn't know. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The book is not easy reading (twice with highlighting in my case) but well ... *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 17 June 2017* The book is not easy reading (twice with highlighting in my case) but well worth the effort!!! Dr Gundry's supplements are good but expensive (especially when shipped to the UK with added VAT) but following the main part of the book as a lifestyle change eating plan,, taking B Complex supplements, Vit D and a multivit and mineral tablet every day still cannot fail to get results.As a healthy but very overweight 68 year old sweet- toothed vegetarian, in Jan 2017 his 'Diet Evolution' simply clicked with me, and I followed the suggestion in it, and now have adapted fully to the Plant Paradox plan. Weight lose is slow but steady,but the other benefits more than make up for this. I've cured my sweet tooth addiction, and now experience a lovely sense of well-being. None of this is a quick fix, it's not easy but VERY beneficial: visible results are not only external but also internal.I did and will continue to buy the Vital Reds supplement because loving fruit, I know I must limit it to a max to avoid sugar cravings. Vital Reds contain fruit extracts but mixed with yogurt (goat milk) it doesn't cause further sugar cravings. Dr Gundry's supplements aren't cheap, especially as you have to add vat to UK imports, and sometimes especially in his first book, there is a little bit too much American hard sell of his products. However, much to his credit he seems to have realized that not everyone's budget is infinitely elastic, and cheaper alternatives are frequently presented in the Plant Paradox. Super book, super plans and super doctor. I've ignored his debunkers-hope you will too!. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So glad the message is getting out there that fat is good and grains are bad! *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 16 May 2017* I have only just ordered this for my Kindle and am very much looking forward to reading it all.I read most of the preview already for the hardback version.I am 100% certain that our government guidelines have helped to make us all sick and what is worse I think they know this but will not make the necessary changes.Following on from us copying the US who went along with the 'findings' of the Ancel Keys 7 Countries Report (despite the fact that he had begun the study with 22 countries that were not used to 'prove' his point that saturated fat led to heart disease), back in the '70's, none of the findings since then have been considered! So today most doctors and most of the general public are convinced that we should be eating a low fat diet with 'healthy whole grains' representing the largest part of our plates!When in fact we should be eating a high fat and low carb diet if we want to be healthy.I have watched quite a few of Steven Gundry's videos and am very glad that he has put this book out there.The more that become educated the better.Last year I allowed wheat to creep into my diet now and then along with sugar, having been on a strictly LCHF diet for the two years previously.The result was that I gained weight, my hypertension returned with my BP being 214/144 on Feb 15th, and I felt tired all the time and very irritable and my IBS also returned.Just since Feb 15th, being back on the LCHF way of eating, although not totally ketogenic, and with two 36 hr water only fasts a week, I have lost over two stone, my BP is now 126/94, I have way more energy, am sleeping better and enjoying life so much more with no more depression and with a general feeling of well being. AND my food tastes better! I'm loving my food so much and enjoying trying out new recipes all the time and also loving my fast days twice a week, as I have more time on my hands to get things done.We are all different and have to find the best way to fit healthy eating into our lives and then we need to experiment on ourselves to get the tweaks just right for us. I am glad Gundry hasn't ruled out cheese and eggs as I don't want to give those up but after the 6 months mark in August I will undergo an elimination diet removing all dairy and eggs for 6 to 8 weeks and then re-introducing them one by one, just to be sure I'm okay with them.I'm now looking into getting more fermented foods in to heal the gut and will be experimenting with kefir, kombucha and kimchi along with my apple cider vinegar water that I take each day. It really is a try it and see sort of thing for us all to get it right for ourselves.But my heart goes out to those who use will power to stick to a low fat diet with lots of grains, believing that it is healthy.I would recommend this book to anyone who cares about their health and especially if they believe that low fat is good.Read and then do your own research and then enjoy a truly healthy diet that doesn't involve an ounce of will power because with all that fat things taste so wonderful!My saffron roast potatoes (which I don't eat too often) roasted in goose fat with a cheese sauce made from just cream and cheese and no flour to thicken it and a lovely gravy, which I hadn't put on when I took that photo, thickened by reducing it - is a healthy meal :-)As is the Creole Salad with a whole avocado, a fair bit of bacon and a dressing made with plenty of healthy oils, I used olive oil and linseed oil for that one and apple cider vinegar, along with other healthy ingredients such as garlic.Both meals were completely organic and taste great and with no guilt needed at all :-)Have to say, I'm intrigued to find out why he suggests that we cut out tomatoes and peppers!I love those so hope I don't need to cut them out but will add them to my elimination weeks if I feel he has some sound reasoning for it.I wish everyone the joy of eating truly healthy food. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Plant Paradox: The Hidden Dangers in "Healthy" Foods That Cause Disease and Weight Gain (The Plant Paradox, 1) - The Plant Paradox Cookbook: 100 Delicious Recipes to Help You Lose Weight, Heal Your Gut, and Live Lectin-Free (The Plant Paradox, 2) - The Plant Paradox Quick and Easy: The 30-Day Plan to Lose Weight, Feel Great, and Live Lectin-Free (The Plant Paradox, 3) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/50214607-the-plant-paradox-the-hidden-dangers-in-healthy-foods-that](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/50214607-the-plant-paradox-the-hidden-dangers-in-healthy-foods-that) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-13*
