The healthy food on your plate might be what's wearing down your gut health.

Dr. Steven Gundry, a heart surgeon and author of The Plant Paradox, told Lewis that lectins act like guided missiles against the lining of your gut. He links them to acne and brain fog.

His sharpest warning is about peanut butter. Steven says 94% of people carry a preformed antibody against the peanut lectin, and he points to monkeys that developed heart disease on peanut oil until the lectin was removed.

A pressure cooker makes beans safe to eat. Peeling and seeding tomatoes and peppers removes most of the lectins, the way Italian cooks always did.

 Gundry says peanut butter is the one to cut first, and almond butter is his replacement.
