Annemare Colbin - Good/Bad Foods for OsteoperosisMar 12 2007 07:30
corralled4ever and pamperedkeri2000 wanted to know a little more about Annemarie Colbin's list of bad foods for osteoperosis from my previous post:
BAD foods - pasta, white bread, potatoes, desserts, nightshades (potato, tomato, eggplant, peppers, tobacco)
Nightshades (Solanaceae)
These plants contain alkaloids, which interfere with calcium deposits. Specifically:
potato, eggplant - solanine
tomato - tomatine
peppers (not black/white pepper) - capiscium
tobacco - nicotine
Many nightshades are poisonous and toxic - datura/devil's weed, mandrake, brugmansia.
This is, of course, surprising as many of these foods are widely used in Western diets. Interestingly, though, these are also diets that are rich in dairy. Colbin believes the dairy helps offset the nightshade alkaloids.
I did not see the original post you are referring to, but I found this info educational. Thank you for the insight and sharing! MC |
Hi Erik ~ so I have been thinking about what you posted the other day... and the thing that caught my eye... and was a real surprise (besides the tomato/potato thing!!!) is this: Sugar not fat causes cholesterol problems.So was there more information to substantiate that? That's like a totally new thought... and what was the recommendation then? would appreciate any additional info you have on this... :) |
