We already recorded a pretty comprehensive podcast on the topic (Episode #257), but there have been requests to revisit NIGHTSHADES.

So, here's the deal...

There is NO - zero - evidence to even consider that eating nightshade vegetables can potentially cause or contribute to any health issues.

Unless of course you are eating belladonna, dartura, or maybe green/sprouted potatoes. These plants are high in solanine, the glycoalkaloid that can be poisonous and deadly in high enough doses.

So, here are the main take aways from this episode...

• Vegetables are in the nightshade family - potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, goji berries
• The utter lack of evidence that these foods cause inflammation or health issues
• Some of the health promoting nutrients that are actually in these foods
• The power of placebo/nocebo effects!
• What to do if you do experience intolerance or symptoms when eating whole plant foods
