I‘m not that versed in reading dietologic papers, but this review (or whatever you wanna call it) found some concerns that I‘d not dismiss immediately: http://www.krispin.com/lectin.html

I don’t know if the WaPo is a good resource to debunk anything ;)



There may be some truth in there somewhere, but I'd like to see more studies.

The Washington Post article is written by a registered dietitian and there is some kind of editing process. The other link is self-published.

It says things like, "our ancestors just didn't evolve eating this type of food and our immune system can't handle it".

but humans have been eating grains for 100,000 years:

I'll keep an eye out for lectin research though. Thanks for the tip.
