    Gliadins occur primarily in cereals and can destroy the connections between the intestinal wall cells; lectins are defenses, which occur mainly in cereals and legumes. They can bind to intestinal wall cells and thereby damage them. Saponins are soap-like substances which can bind to the cholesterol of intestinal wall cells and thus damage them. When potatoes or legumes are boiled, they can be recognized by their foaming property (beer).
