  • Lectin Free Diet
    THERMO-TECH INC. Lectins Free Diet Lectins are proteins in plants that have been associated with both positive and negative health effects. Some plant-based foods, such as beans and legumes, whole grains, nuts, seeds and certain vegetables contain a high amount of lectins. Lectins are a type of protein that, in humans, may help cells interact with one another. Some scientists also believe that lectins provide a form of defense in plants to keep insects away. These proteins also contain nitrogen, which is needed for plants to grow. While many parts of plants contain lectins, the seed is the part that people eat most often. Lectins may impact health in multiple ways, ranging from digestive disturbances (a dysbiotic condition of the gut) to chronic disease risk (inflammation and autoimmune disease including: celiac disease, psoriasis, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, MS and Parkinson's Disease to name a few). They have also been shown to cause red blood cells to cluster together thus not carrying the nutrients and oxygen to our cells this can cause malnutrition although our diet is varied and plentiful. Lectins are categorized as anti-nutrients since they block the absorption of some nutrients. Lectins may cause an upset stomach when plant foods are eaten uncooked. They are also the reason why it can be dangerous to eat undercooked legumes. The lectins in red kidney beans is called phytohaemagglutinin is responsible for red kidney bean poisoning, which results from eating raw or undercooked kidney beans. According to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), consuming just four raw kidney beans could cause symptoms including severe nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

  • G6PD Deficiency Food to Avoid Some of the Foods Commonly Eaten Around the World Can Cause People with G6PD Deficiency to Hemolyze
    G6PD Deficiency Food To Avoid Some of the foods commonly eaten around the world can cause people with G6PD Deficiency to hemolyze. Some of these foods can be deadly (like fava beans). Some others can cause low level hemolysis, which means that red blood cells die, but not enough to cause the person to go to the hospital. Low level hemolysis over time can cause other problems, such as memory dysfunction, over worked spleen, liver and heart, and iron overload. Even though a G6PD Deficient person may not have a crises when consuming these foods, they should be avoided. • Fava beans and other legumes This list contains every legumes we could find, but there may be other names for them that we do not know about. Low level hemolysis is very hard to detect and can cause other problems, so we recommend the avoidance of all legumes. • Sulfites And foods containing them. Sulfites are used in a wide variety of foods, so be sure to check labels carefully. • Menthol And foods containing it. This can be difficult to avoid as toothpaste, candy, breath mints, mouth wash and many other products have menthol added to them. Mint from natural mint oils is alright to consume. • Artificial blue food coloring Other artificial food color can also cause hemolysis. Natural food color such as found in foods like turmeric or grapes is okay. • Ascorbic acid Artificial ascorbic acid commonly put in food and vitamins can cause hemolysis in large doses and should be avoided. It is put into so many foods that you can be getting a lot of Ascorbic Acid without realizing it.

  • The Importance of Dry Beans in Your Diet August 2005
    The Importance of Dry Beans in Your Diet August 2005 The purpose of this lesson is to: Learn more about the nutritional value of dried beans Learn ways to stretch food dollars with dried beans Learn ways to incorporate dried beans, peas, and legumes in family meals Walworth County Association for Home and Community Education Jenny M. Wehmeier Family Living Educator UW-Extension, Walworth County 1 What is a dry bean? Dry beans are produced in pods and belong to the family of plants called legumes. A legume is a plant that produces seeds in a pod (fruit). The physical shape of the seed helps distinguish beans from peas and lentils. Usually, beans are kidney-shaped or oval, peas are round, and lentils are flat disks. Most dry beans grown in this country belong to the species Phaseolus vulgaris, or common bean. The term "dry beans" refers to beans that are dry-packaged in sealed bags and sacks or rehydrated and pre-cooked in cans. Dry beans include popular beans like pinto, navy, kidney (dark and light red), and black beans. Green beans, string beans or soybeans are not considered dry beans. What is the history of the dry bean? Beans have been a staple food for thousands of years. Beans were first domesticated over 7,000 years ago in Peru and southern Mexico. Both centers of domestication have a wide array of colors. In fact, in Mexico, the Indians developed white beans, black beans, and all other colors and color patterns. In the Andes, the same is true, but very lively and bright colors were developed.

There is a growing trend among food Shallots magazines to concentrate on seasonal, locally produced foods. It is also more common Dried Beans for these magazines to feature articles about farmers and their efforts to put good food on Green Beans the table. This trend isn’t limited to magazines about food. In the past yearthere have Cucumbers been articles in several well know, national news journals, about the growing movement Sweet Corn (Trucker’s Delight) to eat a more sustainable and ethical diet. This has had a definite impact on the Tucson Melons CSA. It is exciting to see the increase in awareness about the importance of local foods in Tucson.
