Into the book
If I had to summarize this book in one word, it would be this:
Everything you thought you knew about diet, health, and weight is wrong.
I too have lived believing lies for decades.
I've always eaten "healthy" foods (after all, I'm a cardiologist!). I rarely eat fast food, enjoy low-fat dairy and whole grains, and exercise regularly.
I ran 45km a week and worked out at the gym every day.
Yet, he suffered from high blood pressure, migraines, arthritis, and was overweight, had high cholesterol, and was insulin resistant.
This question kept bothering me in my head.
"Everything is going well, so why is this happening to me?" _Page 8, Prologue "Even I, a doctor, was affected by lectins!"

Lectins are large protein complexes found in plants and animals, and are a crucial weapon that plants use to defend themselves in fights against animals.
So how do lectins protect plants? Lectins, found in plant seeds, grains, skins, and leaves, bind to carbohydrates (sugars) in the bodies of predators that consume the plants, specifically complex carbohydrates called polysaccharides.
Lectins act like smart bombs, targeting and attaching to the cell surfaces of other organisms, particularly fungi, insects, and other animals.
They also bind to sugar molecules found in the gut, brain, between nerve endings, joints, and body fluids, including the vascular lining cells of all living things.
This interferes with the transmission of messages between cells or causes toxic or inflammatory responses.

It has only been a few decades since whole grains were considered a health food.
Think about this.
Since milling technology made it possible to remove the fibrous tissue of grains like wheat thousands of years ago, the privileged classes have eaten 'white' bread.
Brown bread made from brown rice and whole grains was given to tenant farmers.
The purpose of refining grains was to make bread whiter and to make it easier on the intestines.
Whole grains are significantly higher in lectins than grains with the fiber removed, making refined grains easier on the stomach.

Nowadays, everyone 'knows' that brown rice is better for your health than white rice.
But the 4 billion people in Asia who eat rice as a staple food have long been eating brown rice, which has its outer hull removed and turned white.
Is it because I'm stupid? It's because I'm smart.
The outer skin contains lectins.
These cultures have been eliminating lectins for thousands of years.

American chicken and beef contain a lot of antibiotics.
This indiscriminately kills even the beneficial bacteria in the intestines.
Until recently, it was legal to add arsenic oxychloride to free-range chicken to give it a "healthy-looking" red color.
Isn't arsenic oxychloride poisonous? Yes, it is.
Arsenic oxychloride is an antibiotic, a poison, and an endocrine disruptor.

Chicken is a major part of the modern diet, replacing beef, lamb and pork.
But I will reveal the truth that will stop you in your tracks.
The more chicken a pregnant woman eats, the smaller her baby's penis will be.
Pages 123-124, Silent Assassins Swallowed Without Thinking

I don't mention how many calories you can consume in a day.
The old rule of equalizing calories in with calories out is based on the assumption that you consume all your calories.
This old rule doesn't take into account that your gut microbes burn many of the calories you eat.
Microbes use those calories to grow many copies of themselves, creating calories you can't get, or converting them into vital fats to give you energy.

Through the Plant Paradox program, you will discover that your gut microbes take a significant portion of your calories.
You will lose weight even if you eat a lot more food than before.

How to live a long and healthy life

If you keep gaining weight or have trouble losing it, it's not because you're lazy or lack self-control.
The reason existing 'solutions' don't bring about changes in your weight and health is because they haven't ended the battle going on in your body.
The vegetables and fruits we eat every day contain toxins.
Lectin, a plant protein produced by plants to protect themselves from animal predators.
This enters the body and causes inflammation, weight gain, and serious illness.
Here, the antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, antacids, and chemicals that modern people pour into their intestines conspire to destroy the body.


How will we end the war? The answer lies in our gut microbiome.
By eliminating bad microbes and creating an environment for good microbes, you can maintain a slim and healthy body.
That strategy is the 'Plant Paradox Program'.
The method boils down to 'avoiding or eliminating lectins.'
