The nightshade family contains the alkaloid solanin; it's thought that arthritis sufferers can't process this into something harmless, so it winds up irritating the already-inflamed joints. As a result, missing out tomatoes and sweet peppers is a good idea, as is taking cod liver oil, which produces natural prostaglandin anti-inflammatories. |

Nightshade vegetables are among the foods that some people feel can trigger arthritis flares. Others feel their arthritis symptoms improve when nightshade vegetables are avoided. What are nightshade vegetables? According to The George Mateljan Foundation, food members of the nightshade family include: potatoes (not sweet potatoes) tomatoes eggplant sweet and hot peppers (including paprika, cayenne pepper and Tabasco sauce) ground cherries tomatillos and tamarillos garden huckleberry and naranjillas pepinos and pimentos Should people with arthritis avoid nightshade vegetables? According to the University of Washington website, "No foods have been definitively shown to cause or exacerbate arthritis in most individuals. A variety of diets and hand-me-down information exists about certain foods and arthritis, in particular the night shade plants, but none of it has been proven." The effect of foods on arthritis symptoms vary greatly from person to person. It is an individual decision whether or not to avoid nightshade vegetables." The full paper (referenced) is also interesting: http://www.noarthritis.com/research.htm Abstract Diet appears to be a factor in the etiology of arthritis based on surveys of over 1400 volunteers during a 20-year period. Plants in the drug family, Solanaceae (nightshades) are an important causative factor in arthritis in sensitive people. This family includes potato (Solanum tuberosum L.), tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.), eggplant (Solanum melongena L.), tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.), and peppers (Capsicum sp.) of all kinds except the black pepper (family, Piperaceae). A buildup of cholinesterase inhibiting glycoalkaloids and steroids from consumption and/or use (tobacco) of the nightshades and from other sources such as caffeine and some pesticides (organophosphates and carbamates) may cause inflammation, muscle spasms, pain, and stiffness. Osteoarthritis appears to be a result of long-term consumption and/or use of the Solanaceae which contain naturally the active metabolite, vitamin D3, which in excess causes crippling and early disability (as seen in livestock). Rigid omission of Solanaceae, with other minor diet adjustments, has resulted in positive to marked improvement in arthritis and general health. |

Regards Petewww.thecanalshop.com If you want to know if Tomatoes upset your digestine system and or agrivate arthritus then keep a food diary, this way you will be able to see if there is any corelation between eating them, (and the type eaten) and any occurance of any adverse effects.
