Studies:
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10205210
VFA lectin causes tumor cell differentiation, reversing the cancerous properties of colon cells.

tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10408390591034445
Lectins bind to gastrointestinal cells and enter bloodstream. Lectins preferentially bind to cancerous cells and inhibit tumor growth.

sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1357272511001968
Lectins trigger cancer cell apoptosis / programmed cell death

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27235832
Dietary lectins can encounter colon cancer cells. Lectins are absorbed and interfere with cancer cell metabolism.

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26769089
White kidney bean lectins antiproliferative and apoptotic activity on cancer cells.

sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0733521014000228
Wheat lectins - no evidence of adverse health effects, lots of evidence of protective effects.

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25739376
Legumes / lectins cancer protective.
