RE: Lets Talk A Little Bit More About Cannabis Edibles
Anything that still has the bran attached is exceptionally high in lectins, so yes, brown rice has a higher lectin load than plan old white rice does. 12 grain, whole wheat bread has a higher lectin load than heavily refined white flour does (as another example).
I'm wouldn't eat refined white flour either, but it does have a lower lectin score than whole grain does.
Hrmm, well I'm barely able to handle wheat flour. Though I'm the only blood type the lectins are 'neutral' for, I have pathogens from parents which lean it toward avoid for me. Only tolerable in small amounts before sleepiness and other issues creep in.
BRF? I can eat massive amounts, along with lots and lots of brown rice without any noticeable side effects. Crazy, eh? Anyway, cool information. Thanks!
Yeah. It's crazy alright. I've completely overhauled my eating lifestyle in an attempt to drop inflammation levels in my own body. Been Paleo for 7 years, dancing around ketogenics all that time. I'm A- (no big surprise there) and do better when I drop most animal protein as per my blood type. I wasn't paying any attention to lectin load and now I am. Eating animal protein once a week, mostly green leaf and cruciferous veg while avoiding high lectin vegetables and have cut fruit way back too. I've also started supplementing with various mushroom supplements. We shall see what happens...my life is one big experiment at this point. LOL!
Most, I like that. :) A is the closest to being a 'vegetarian' but we still need some animal proteins in there. lol Glad to see you're approaching it intelligently.
Keep Being Awesome! :D
