Digest Number 92
Thanks for the info on artichokes - guess I’ll have to expand my culinary
horizons a little!
By the way, how does one determine which avoid foods are lectins and which
are simply labeled too acidic for O’s? I’ve suspected that there is a
difference, but haven’t read anything in either ER4YT or CR4YT that helps
to readily distinguish…
I try to avoid the “avoids”, but occasionally indulge in a real cup of
coffee or a cup of decaf, for instance. Haven’t noticed any ill effects
from either one, but you don’t always notice any side effects with a lectin
food.
So much to learn!

Hi Becky,
Coffee is an avoid because of the acid and not because of the lectins. I
feel that if it doesn’t bother my stomach then I drink it. It is the lectins
I am really trying to avoid because you can’t see or feel the damage they
might be doing.

checked a lot of labels and can’t find lectins listed…am I blind?
Hi Debby,
Lectins are not ingredients in foods that would be listed on labels. They
are hidden culprits that react differently with different blood types to
cause problems. That is why one food is an avoid for one blood type and HB
for another blood type. Dr. D explains all of this in the being of ER4YT
book. If you haven’t read the book it would be a good thing to do. He
explains all the chemical explanations behind avoids.

the lectins are the protein molecules found in foods..you won’t find them
listed on a label..as I understand some lectins react adversely in the type O
blood stream by clumping together..getting into the blood stream and
aggravating the joints and compromising the entire system. I remember
reading about all this in the first part of the ER4YT book. I gave my book
away so can’t go back and repeat the info word for word.
