Great list! I also wanted to remind everyone they are still night shades. All food is a little problematic. The family of plants is Solanaceae. “The theory linking nightshade vegetables to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) suggests that certain compounds in these foods may worsen inflammation and contribute to joint pain in some individuals with RA. Nightshades, a family of plants that includes tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants, and peppers, contain a naturally occurring chemical called solanine, which some believe could be a trigger for inflammation.”
“Know your triggers: nightshades and joint health.” - Pain Institute of Southern Arizona.
“Some people are sensitive to different foods, including nightshades, whether or not they are living with arthritis. Montoya points to a couple of different possible scenarios. The first is oral allergy syndrome – when people who have allergies to tree or grass pollens also react to certain foods that have a similar protein makeup. Tomatoes are a common trigger. Another possibility is latex-fruit syndrome, when people who are allergic to latex also show sensitivity to some foods, including tomatoes and potatoes, which have similar proteins.”
" The plants contain alkaloids, which can be dangerous in large doses. Some nightshade plants are even deemed unsafe to eat. (One is even called deadly nightshade!)
A bitter-tasting compound known as solanine is the main culprit, explains Dr. Calabrese."
"A tomato allergy is a type 1 hypersensitivity to tomatoes. Type 1 allergies are commonly known as contact allergies. When a person with this type of allergy comes into contact with an allergen, such as a tomato, histamines are released into exposed areas such as the skin, nose, and respiratory and digestive tracts. In turn, this causes an allergic reaction.
Despite the fact that tomatoes and tomato-based products are some of the most heavily consumed foods in the western diet, tomato allergies are extremely rare. An individual with a tomato allergy is also prone to allergic reactions with other nightshades, including potatoes, tobacco, and eggplant. Often, people with a tomato allergy will have a cross-reaction to latex as well (latex-fruit syndrome)."
I said it before about pawpaw , cherimoya, star fruit etc. etc.
"All food is toxic in large quantity. There is a little arsenic and cyanide in most fruits. I accept toxicity as part of life. I eat prunus besseyi at times which are more toxic than star fruit, poke greens after boiling at least 2x, mushrooms, not to mention think about many peoples food allergies to strawberry , shrimp,wheat, milk etc. Food is life and death and i expect nothing different from any fruit or vegetable.
