I was holidaying with my cousin (who has autoimmune disease of joint pain and severe eczema) in Greece. She was there for 9 months. We ate a diet rich in night shades. While there her eczema cleared up. She also had blood work checked which she emailed her doctor back home to go prep for a conference call. He was amazed at how much she improved. My guess on the therapeutic nature of Greece is that veggies are grown in volcanic soil which is nutrient rich as opposed to where we live in Australia. I've heard that it's best to cook your nightshades as opposed to raw. As with starches, I've started to cook in advance, refrigerate and reheat when needed. This then keeps your glucose levels low.

Same here, recently realized it's the nightshades after years of thinking it was gluten, dairy and various other things. Turns out I was always confounding my results by eating things with tomato, potato, hot sauce, etc. Turns out eliminating these seems to make my psoriatic arthritis completely calm down, and even trace amounts of something like paprika in a seasoning starts to trigger me within 24 hours... at least now I know

To avoid the spike in blood sugar when eating potatoes : 1) limit quantities, 2) heat and cool them, 3) eat them with fat and fibers, 4) drink a glass of apple cider vinegar and water to regulate the insulin level Enjoy your potatoes 😘👍

Why am I avoiding aubergine and peppers? Because if I don’t my guts are a mess! Also sometimes I am now removing seeds from my tomato’s. Everybody’s body is different.

These information are so valuable. I wish they are available in other languages, at least the close caption (or subtitles). It will benefit so much more people.

Having had to cut the nightshade group out due to inflammation, a leaky gut, and blood results highlighting immune response, after a 12 month break the three times I tried one portion of potatoes, a month apart each, immediately gave me horrendous arthritic hand pain for 10 days at a time. I will not be going back to any of the food group. My body wide pain and stiffness is at least 80% reduced by altering my diet to exclude the foods that showed in my immune tests. You can easily get Butyrate supplements for the gut and I do that instead. I love sweet potatoes and have them if I want a potato. I do miss aubergines though. Totally believe arthritis is absolutely linked to dietary caused inflammation - but that can be an individual diet different to each other. It’s frustrating that mainstream medicine is still resistant to accepting we are individuals who can be adversely affected by “healthy” foods - Mediterranean diet or not. One size fits all does not work - this comes up time and time again still across the board - when will they learn!

I've seen it on ingredients lists for jelly babies - nothing can be assumed to be free from the stuff.

Do what works for you and makes you feel good. Physiology is not a one size fits all situation, which I wish they would have emphasized here more, though they did give it an ever so brief mention. There are definitely a significant amount of people that nightshades can affect in varying degrees (again not one size). This can include anyone sensitive to tyramine or tyrosine. Those w autoimmune dzs, afib and who take MAOs all can have serious issues from not carefully considering how diet affects them. I notice in afib forums alot that those who don’t consider their diets are going in for repeated cardioversions and even repeated ablations. I find this video a bit misleading or that maybe this topic was a bit beyond the scope of those consulted.

What about the lectins? they're present in night shades and are supposed to spoli our gut, same way as gluten does but with minor dammages. As far as I understand, gluten is a lectin too?

Of course if olive oil is poured onto cooked potatoes they become low GI so avoids sudden sugar spikes. I always eat starch with healthy oils or fats.

Do resistant starches develop in sweet potatos when cooked, cooled and reheted?

No mention of lectins? Dr Steven Gundry bases a whole majority of his diet recommendations on the avoidance of this class of proteins, which, he teaches, are standard proteins in nightshade plants.

The vast majority of nutritional scientists (which is is not BTW, just a medic) do not agree, and nor does the evidence. Gundry does very well out of trying to make lectin the new gluten. Population studies on people eating lots of high-lectin foods show they do better than the usual Western diet. The most studied diet in history: the Mediterranean Diet is high in lectin-containing foods and has amongst the best health outcomes of any diet we know of. Why choose to believe this non-scientist who profits from pushing this fringe belief and ignore the scientific consensus, which is: you just don't need to worry about lectins in a healthy diet?

That's the thing tho, "reportedly". The magnitude of inflamation, or the other way around, ORAC value, heavily depends on the subjects condition and/or what theyre missing in their System, therefor these anecdotal reports can be heavily skewed. An apple has a higher ORAC value than an orange, but someone with a deficiency precisely for vitamin C, might benefit more, and get a higher ORAC value in their blood, when eating the orange instead. It's the same case for many antioxidants, studies show that most ppl barely convert any beta-carotene into vitamin A, since their body already uses up all the antioxidants in form of beta-carotene. Getting back to nightshades, studies show no harm, but ofc if an individual receives harm, they should not be blind to their own eyes, and do what's best for them. Tomato sauce/puree/passata from straight tomatoes is very high in bioavailable lycopenes, so i eat it occasionally, i don't see the point in raw tomatoes however, as their lycopenes are barely bioavailable.

If I understand it correctly, it's not that fresh tomatoes are inherently lower in nutrients than cooked tomatoes; it's that when cooked, the volume is reduced so much that when we eat a "serving" of tomato sauce or paste, we may be eating the equivalent of numerous tomato fruits. Fresh tomatoes can be rich in nutrients, if consuming a lot of them.

@@gsomethingsomething2658, well, obviously, but if you’ve ever been in a supermarket you’ll find that most vergetables you can buy are nightshades 🤷🏻‍♂️ They’re good too, you just have to know how to prepare them ♥️ There is so much to re-learn about things our ancestors knew from their customs and centuries of experimentations…

hmmmm.... what about green (unripe) tomatos?

Toh-may-toe -- what's a tohmaytoe? A hybrid of tohmaydo & tomato?

Perhaps the quantity of nightshade vegetable matters. Having eaten small amounts of eggplant with no problem but first time eating Greek eggplant 🍆 moussaka I broke out in facial blotches of colour.

I haven't seen the video yet. I supplicate to the all-powerful Atheismo and plead that Dr. B won't be like, "Night shade sensitivity is horseshit, but you can try eliminating it anyway to see if it makes you feel better."

Do what works for you and makes you feel good. Physiology is not a one size fits all situation, which I wish they would have emphasized here more, though they did give it an ever so brief mention. There are definitely a significant amount of people that nightshades can affect in varying degrees (again not one size). This can include anyone sensitive to tyramine or tyrosine. Those w autoimmune dzs, afib and who take MAOs all can have serious issues from not carefully considering how diet affects them. I notice in afib forums alot that those who don’t consider their diets are going in for repeated cardioversions and even repeated ablations. I find this video a bit misleading or feel that maybe this topic was a bit beyond the scope of those consulted. Science and medical professions don’t always intersect adequately enough, either because studies were too narrow or too focused and limiting in group or species included.

Histamine is the issue and my own personal nightmare I have EDS and MCAD .... I cant eat aubergine and or potatoes and some peppers but not others ... I can eat toms when cooked easily but sometimes react to raw tomato but histamine levels are the real issue as is the ability to digest them depending on the raw versus cooked status .. Cutting raw potato or a tomato can result in a rash and hives.... But cooked not...The gut may be able to absorb many foods better if cooked as it changes the ability to imbibe them. Saying that, if you offer me tomato soup .....Im going to be sick.....Can i please say that i am a carer for an EDS T1D. I would LOVE to share what happens on the CGM. Oh boy. I call it the "revenge of the potato" 6 HOURS LATER I WILL BE AWAKE AT 3 AM BRINGING DOWN A BG OF 14-19.... Three hours after the BG will drop into hypo as the insulin beats the potato causing a near death experience each time. Thats why you double bolus as every t1d knows potatoes are the WORST. I cannot emphasis enough the power of a visual representation on a CGM of the 6 hour leaky gut horror spike. I wish i could speak to the Zoe team directly.

Potato Salad - yay!

I cannot eat nightshade I have IBS and I have arthritis it make my arthritis worse I have difficulty walking

thats weird because once i cut out patatos i started lossing all my unhealthy weight

I’m assuming Jonathon pretends not these things, because sometimes the way he asks these questions is like he genuinely doesn’t know, which would make me wonder why he works for Zoe 😂

Holy shit. Its Chevy Chase reincarnate! 😁

In Peruntherebare over 300 verities of potato, not 50
