I don't believe their is research supporting the supposition that
sprouting destroys lectins. Aside from that, there'd be no evolutionary
advantage to destroying or inactivitating lectin after sprouting, unlke
unlocking vitamins and minerals which are stored while the seed is dormant.

One webpage with some info is called "The Lectin Report" it's by Crispin
Sullivan, a certified nutritionist, I believe.  A. Pusztai has written a
book, called "Plant Lectins" which should be available through
inter-library loan, for anyone really, really, interested in lectins.
