Some lectins are dangerous like the dietary vaccines I mentioned in this articles. If you eat enough raw kidney beans you will die. Heating and adding enzymes will not completely destroy dangerous lectins. If you have a bowel disease avoiding lectins from my experience will help your health. The reason I wrote this article is that i suffer from an autoimmune disease called fibromylgia. Changing my diet to gut friendly has helped me heal, however I didn't know tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, plants from the nightshade family can cause inflammation and irritate a leaky gut lining, which I suffer from.
There is a biological weapon made from legume lectin called Ricin.
Ricin (/ˈraɪsɪn/ RYE-sin) is a highly toxic, naturally occurring lectin (a carbohydrate-binding protein) produced in the seeds of the castor oil plant, Ricinus communis. A dose of purified ricin powder the size of a few grains of table salt can kill an adult human.[1] The median lethal dose (LD50) of ricin is around 22 micrograms per kilogram of body weight if the exposure is from injection or inhalation (1.78 milligrams for an average adult).[2] Oral exposure to ricin is far less toxic as some of the poison is inactivated in the stomach. An estimated lethal oral dose in humans is approximately 1 milligram per kilogram.[2]
