nightshades

[Guest guest]

I was thinking if cayenne helps deaden over active nerves it might be

good for inflammation/pain anywhere in the body.

Then i read this in one of my books

Avoid foods from the nightshade family of foods (tomatoes, potatoes,

aubergines and peppers)if you are prone to muscular, arthritic, joint

or bone problems.

Arthritic sufferers need to especially avoid the nightshades because

they contain a substance called solamine, which interferes with the

enzymes in the muscles, often causing pain and discomfort and

aggravating joint problems.

If you realy love these foods, the best thing you can do is to roast,

bake or cook these veggies with a little miso soup. This process will

neutralize the solamine compound.
