Blog about family history or genealogy and human interest stories. All of the Josephs were prospectors and I have decided to make that a theme in this blog.

How do we get inflammation?

Sugar
White Flour
Processed Oils
Wheat
Lectin
We now have wheat with very high amounts of protein, much higher than 2,000 years ago. There’s a component of this protein, which is actually one of the proteins; it’s a glycoprotein, which is a protein and a sugar molecule together.
This is a class of compounds called lectins. Lectins are in the wheat to protect the wheat from attack by bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
It does a marvelous job of protecting the wheat from infection. It does this by damaging the cell walls of the bacteria and the fungi and destroying them. Here’s something that is in there to protect the wheat from attack.
Unfortunately, human beings have the same receptor sites on the cells as the fungi and bacteria have. That means that because we have the same receptor sites, the lectins are also going to damage our cells.
