Episode 67 IronRadio - Guest Garrett Smith Topic Nightshade Foods and Joint Pain
Phil, Lonnie and Rob talk to Naturopath Garrett Smith about a theoretical
relationship between nightshade plant foods like tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant or hot
pepper and joint pain and inflammation. (Many lifters are familiar with joint pain!
Could you be genetically susceptible to this potential dietary influence?) This is a
controversial topic that crops up every so often among lay audiences and actual
mechanisms behind any problems with these fruits and veg are unknown. Plus, there
are good things about these foods like potassium, fiber and even prevention of
prostate cancer, so keep an open but critical mind. Lots of speculation and
anecdotal evidence in this episode on a possible connection that has little
documentation in the scientific literature.
