Quick question...is tomato a common alergen? I wonder why you list

tomato as a food to possibly eliminate. I have been eating lots of

tomatoes each day for years and just recently realized I should give

it a break already.

Thanks,

tomatoes and almonds are high in salicytes (sp?) which are often implicated

in ADD.

Tomatoes, and other citrus related foods, are often allergens.

Salicylates :-)

Tomatoes are also a problem for people sensitive to the nightshade family

(potatoes, eggplant, capsicum (peppers), tomatoes). If I over-indulge I get

joint pain and fluid retention.

Am partway through Genetic Nutritioneering. If I'd known it was Human Genome

Project I would have shied away. Is some interesting new acceptable info,

some questionable and most diet suggestions that are still in the food

pyramid realm. Tomatoes and the other nightshades, peppers, potatoes and

eggplant were seen as more allergenic than gluten and casein especially in

arthritic inflammation.

Going off subject a bit. For cholesterol and Alzheimer's, there's a blood

protein called apolipoprotein E that transports fat and cholesterol. Exits

in 3 forms apoE2, E3 and E4. We get a gene from father and mother. Genes

that create apoE2 can eat high fat without heart disease and don't get

Alzheimer's. ApoE4 is highest risk for both. Gluten sensitivity first in

links. Researchers in Sweden correlated gluten sensitive individuals who

continued to eat wheat with early onset dementia. Studies are being done to

determine if gluten sensitive with apoE4 can avoid dementia with gf diet.
