#257 | MM - Are Nightshade Vegetables Healthy for Everyone?
Manage episode 307229129 series 2307700
Short answer: YES.
Longer answer: Some people have digestive vulnerabilities that can be reversed.
Want to tolerate nightshades and build digestive resilience?
Eat More Plants!
In today's Medicinal Monday, we unpack this topic in greater depth and debunk any misconceptions that might be held around nightshades, lectins, and other "inflammatory" vegetables.

Some highlights from today's MM episode...
- Nightshades are in the Solanaceae family, including plants like belladonna known for having toxic glycoalkaloids
- Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant are all nightshades, also sometimes feared for their lectin content
- There is zero evidence that glycoalkaloids (or small amounts of natural lectins) have inflammatory effects
- Glycoalkaloids and lectins are phytonutrients that actually have health-promoting benefits (anticancer, immune-boosting, gut resilience, and more)
- Food sensitivities are always due to intestinal dysbiosis, which is reversed by eating MORE plants
