One slice of the bread contains just 90 calories, 3 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber, compared to the whole-wheat bread that contains 128calories in one slice, 3 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber.
The primary fixings are sweet potato flour, almonds, hazelnut flour, egg whites, coconut flour, coconut oil and a couple of others.
As per Dr. Gundry, it’s about the gluten and the carbs, yet additionally the abnormal level of lectins — otherwise known as carbohydrate-binding proteins which are highly toxic in abnormal levels — that make the traditional bread very unhealthy.
As indicated by Independent:
“Steven Gundry recommends avoiding lectins. While numerous individuals go gluten-free because of a paranoid fear of inflammation and bloating, Gundry says gluten is only one type of a lectin – a very toxic, plant-based protein which is found in many gluten-free products and mostly in wheat.
He says that once lectins, which are likewise found in many veggies and fruits, are ingested, they impel a sort of chemical fighting on our bodies, which can cause some complications, like inflammatory reactions that might lead to weight gain or some other more serious conditions.”
