Phytohaemagglutinin). Unfamiliar with thorough cooking of kidney beans, many immigrants to the United Kingdom experienced nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, as a result of the undercooked kidney beans. Similarly, raw soybeans contain a wide variety of toxins, including trypsin inhibitors, amylase inhibitors, saponins, various antivitamins, in addition to lectins.[citation needed] All of these toxins are rendered inactive by heating and fermentation during the processing of soybeans.[citation needed]

"Chocolate, coffee and some spices, including caraway, nutmeg, peppermint, marjoram and garlic, are also sources of lectins."

Well, see, yeah, um, but, it takes lectins to manufacture butyrate, and if them lectins get ta running loose, they agglutinate red blood cells together for a brain clot, so ya hafta eat mannose to keep a safe balance (if ya can't do it yurself, cuz-a yore blood type-uh-person). Mannose is very tasty, too!
I do my own chemistrations ta figger things out.
Them lectins! - Can't live with'em, can't live without'em.
