What Is the Lectin Free Diet?
9. Evidence Showing the Lectin-Free Diet Works
As previously mentioned, the scientific research on lectins in humans are minimal. However, animal model studies have indicated that a lectin-free diet can benefit individuals with food intolerances. In recent years, the celebrity Kelly Clarkson has also spoken out regarding the efficacy of the diet, claiming that the diet helped with her weight loss and resolution of her autoimmune thyroid issues.
Despite the strong disagreement of his peers, Dr. Gundry has also used data from his own patients as evidence and presented the results at an American Heart Association conference. His results showed that out of 102 study participants on a lectin-free diet, 95 of the patients showed improvements in biomarkers of autoimmune disease and inflammation after nine months.
