"Onions and their relatives are known botanically as alliums, a plant genus that has been classified at different times as belonging to the lily family, the amaryllis family, or to a family all its own called Alliaceae. " He said that the article put them in the nightshade family - that's actually the tomatoes, peppers and eggplant type plants. I've heard that both onions and the nightshades are not good - the onions/garlic are too caustic or acidic? And I don't quite remember why they nightshades. - could you recheck the article and see whether it's talking about the onions or the nightshade family. I'm wanting to try and alter my diet to lose weight but also improve my RA. So any info is greatly appreciated. I should subscribe to arthritis today - just keep putting it off. Messenger with Voice.
