I can’t understand how in the same article you can say:
“Fries and chips offer no nutritional benefit, so it makes sense to limit them anyway.”
and then…
“Potatoes in general are nutrient-dense, filling, and cheap to buy.”
Does the way they are cooked somehow eliminate all the nutrition?

Please understand the science before using it to make a point. To say only a few plants in the nightshades family are edible is completely meaningless and implies meaning where there is none. Mangoes are in the same family as poison ivy. Poison hemlock is in the carrot family. Give context so people can make informed decisions instead of trying to scare them to support a particular idea. If there are studies showing a link between nightshades and inflammation, great. Please share it. Thanks.

Every since I eliminated tomatoes I haven’t had any flair ups or pain in my hands or knees.

In reply to Joan Ford. It is the Lectins in nightshades that cause insulin & leptin resistance. Excuse my error. Letptins are okay for me.
