That's a very broad brush - I am all in favour of avoiding Ricin, but how do you avoid the rest of the bunch?

Hugh--I never heard of Ricin. What is it? A type of lectin? I avoid all seeded vegetables, don't eat fruit (except avocado), no gluten, focus on products from grass fed cows (cheese from France and Ireland -all grass fed cows) I'm still learning about the lectin thing.. was hoping there were others on MFP who were doing the same food approach.
IWTBFCIN3: there is a good article on lectins at Mark's Daily Apple. Use the search feature, put in lectins and it should come right up. That will give you a sense of what they are.
