DWQA QuestionsCategory: Divine GuidanceYou have told us tomatoes are safe to eat. Studies have shown that foods, like tomatoes, which contain lectins, are a cause of leaky gut. Is this a significant risk? Are there safe limits on tomato consumption?

We see this as a low-level risk for the average individual. Any such substance, if it is the sole foodstuff used to sustain life, can give rise to a problem. There are genetic vulnerabilities in some individuals for whom an additional insult from lectins in the diet will cause greater harm than with the average person. This is a karmic liability from difficulties in other lifetimes that will set up a person to have a genetic complement making them more susceptible to compromising the lining of the gut by dietary substances. There are also complexities with regard to the gut biome in how it handles materials ingested to make some more vulnerable to the problem than others. We see tomato as being one of the less potent offending substances, and that is also why we can simply categorize tomatoes as safe to eat.
