- PHYTATES
Phytates bind to minerals present in beans and prevent absorption of iron, calcium, magnesium, and zinc in human body making beans nutritionally insignificant
- LECTINS
Lectins, nature’s own pesticides, are abundant in beans and legumes. Lectins are known to damage our gut barrier cells and cause intestinal permeability. Leaky gut promotes consistent low-grade inflammation and is a first stage in the development of autoimmune and chronic diseases like rheumatoid, lupus, IBS, Crohn’s, colitis, thyroiditis, etc.
- SAPONINS
Saponins are antinutrients capable of destroying cells by creating holes in their membranes and, once in the bloodstream, causing further damage to red blood cells. The net effect of their activity is a compromised gut barrier and inflammation leading to disruption of the immune system
- OLIGOSACCHARIDES
Oligosaccharides are complex sugars in soy that many of us having problem digesting because we lack enzymes needed for their breakdown. Undigested carbs are consumed by bad bacteria that metabolizes it into gas, causing digestive discomfort.
- PROTEASE INHIBITORS
Polyphenols found in beans and legumes prevent our gut enzymes from breaking down the proteins into amino acids causing secretion of the enzyme Trypsin in excessive amounts. The elevated level of Trypsin triggers loosening of the cell tight junctions allowing toxins and bacteria enter the bloodstream, provoking an immune response and inflammation.
