如果你听说茄科植物蔬菜会加剧关节炎等各种疾病，请放下你的担忧。成熟的土豆、西红柿、甜椒和茄子对健康没有任何负面影响，恰恰相反，这些食物具有惊人的营养和疗愈功效，可以改善健康，正是我们在疗愈疾病时最需要的食物。 今天对茄科植物的恐惧是历史上茄科植物误解的变体。
在过去，人们惧怕茄科植物，因为食用其叶子和茎干有毒性。如果因为这个原因不吃茄科植物的话，那么我们也需要避免诸如橙子和桃子等食物，因为食用这些植物的茎干和叶子也会让人不适。
当人们开始了解如果只吃茄科类的果实诸如土豆并没有问题时，对西红柿的恐惧再次蔓延开来，这实际上是因为那时人们将西红柿放在含有铅和锡的盘子上，而西红柿所含的酸会吸收有毒的铅，而导致摄入西红柿的人中毒。当这种盘子不再被使用时，人们对西红柿不再恐惧。
但这种恐惧往往会停留在集体意识。因此在现在，随着越来越多的人出现神秘的慢性疼痛，茄科类植物再次遭到指责。现代理论认为这些食物中很高的生物碱含量会引起炎症。问题在于，身体的任何炎症只可能由两种因素导致，第一是外伤，第二是体内的病原体（更多细节请见“炎症的真相”）。
生物碱是不可能引起炎症的，问题完全不在茄科植物。 另外一个问题是，许多人以番茄酱的形式摄入西红柿，我们必须要看一起摄入的其他成分。番茄酱中通常有高果糖玉米糖浆，同时有番茄酱也经常伴随着麸质食物一起摄入（面包、三明治等）。许多时候奶酪与茄子一起摄入；甜椒内塞满了肉和奶酪。土豆经常被油炸并和培根或奶酪一起摄入。
在所有这些情况下，玉米、小麦、乳制品和高油脂是引发疾病的真正原因，因为这些食物是病原体的最爱。许多人减少饮食中的茄科食物后感觉变好是因为减少了与茄科植物一起的这些威胁健康食物的摄入。
更多信息请见：健康和疗愈需要避免的食物 ：蛋、乳制品、麸质、玉米、大豆、鱼油、芥花油，各种添加剂。 如果我们是通过烤土豆，撒上新鲜的番茄酱和牛油果，或者蒸茄子撒上橄榄油和柠檬汁、或塞满鹰嘴豆泥的甜椒等摄入茄科类，茄科植物的声誉将完全不同。如果我们在饮食中去除蛋、乳制品、玉米和高油脂等不利于健康的因素，就会了解茄科植物并不是导致炎症的原因，而是我们饮食中的其他成分。
当我们去除病原体的食物后，体内的炎症会减轻或消失，因为致病的病原体失去了食物来源。 在极少数情况下，一个人在摄入成熟西红柿或清蒸土豆后出现症状，实际上她或他如果摄入其他的健康水果和蔬菜时也会有一样的反应，这是因为这个人体内有大量的病原体，而水果和蔬菜进入体内会杀死病原体，引起短暂的炎症升高反应，这是一种疗愈反应，随着疗愈的进行会消失。例如，土豆是一种令人难以置信的抗病毒药物，其所含赖氨酸含量很高，因此，不管一个人是否知道，如果他体内有大量病毒感染，在土豆杀死病毒时，会经历排毒反应。
西红柿皮实际上可以杀死体内的坏菌、真菌、蠕虫和其他寄生虫，当它们从肠道中被清除时，可能会导致排毒症状，这是很典型的蔬菜和水果在帮助我们疗愈时反而会受到指责的例子。 这并不是说我们应该去树林里吃那些深色的茄科植物浆果，这些是有毒的，但人类食用的茄科植物不仅是安全的，而且对健康高度有益。
同时请确保所吃的茄科食物是成熟，例如大多数绿色甜椒只是红色甜椒的未成熟版本，请选择红色甜椒，因为青椒或西红柿（除非本身成熟的时候就是绿色的那种品种）可能有刺激性（任何食物在未成熟阶段都可能有刺激性）。一旦成熟，茄科植物的果实本身实际上就不再是茄科。
NIGHTSHADE FEAR
If you’ve heard that nightshade vegetables aggravate conditions such as arthritis,you can let go of this misconception. Potatoes,tomatoes,peppers,and eggplants,when ripe,have no negative effect on health. It’s the opposite: These amazing foods enhance health with their nutrients and healing properties. They’re exactly what you need when you’re dealing with illness.
Modern-day nightshade fear is just a historical misunderstanding that’s changed shape over the years. First,people were afraid of nightshades because their leaves and stems are toxic when consumed. (If that were a legitimate conclusion,then you’d have to avoid all sorts of other foods,too,including oranges and peaches,because that foliage will also make you sick if you eat it.)Once people caught on that the fruits (or tubers,in the case of potatoes)themselves were fine,tomato fear crept up again,because people were eating them off of pewter plates,and the tomato acid released toxic lead that poisoned tomato eaters. Finally,with the days of pewter plates gone,tomatoes were embraced once more.
However,fears like these tend to linger in the collective awareness. So in our current day,as mystery chronic pain has taken hold of more and more people,nightshades are there in the consciousness to be blamed. The modern-day theory goes that these foods are high in alkaloids that cause inflammation. It’s not the alkaloids causing inflammation,though. It’s not the foods that grow on nightshade plants that are the problem.
We have to look at the other ingredients served with these foods. In the case of ketchup and tomato sauce,there’s often high-fructose corn syrup,and where there’s tomato,you’ll frequently find a wheat crust or slice of sandwich bread. With eggplant,there’s the inevitable parmesan. Bell peppers get stuffed with sausage and Monterey Jack. Potatoes are so often deep-fat-fried or twice-baked and encrusted with bacon bits. Corn,wheat,high dairy fat,and frying are the real triggers to illness in these situations,because they feed pathogens. When people feel better by cutting out nightshades from their diets,it’s because they’ve lowered their intake of these other ingredients.
Nightshades would have an entirely different reputation if the popular dishes were baked potatoes heaped with salsa and avocado,steamed eggplant drizzled with olive oil and lemon juice,red bell pepper sticks with hummus,and tomatoes stuffed with sundried tomato-tahini dip. If these were the norm,no one would have made a link between nightshades and inflammation,because there’s no link to be found when unproductive foods aren’t in the mix.
In the rare case where someone eats a juicy,ripe tomato on its own,or a plain steamed potato,and experiences the onset of symptoms,it’s practically guaranteed that she or he has symptoms when eating other types of healthy fruits and vegetables,too. It’s a sign that the person is dealing with an elevated pathogenic load—the fruits and vegetables are causing a detox reaction. Potato is an incredible antiviral,very high in the amino acid lysine,so if someone is compromised by any sort of viral infection (whether they’re aware of its presence or not),she or he is likely to feel an effect in the body as the virus dies off. And tomato skins actually kill off unproductive bacteria,fungus,worms,and other parasites—so as they’re eliminated from the intestinal tract,it can lead to detox symptoms，it’s a classic case of Holy Four foods getting blamed when they’re actually helping us all.
None of this is to say that you should go eating those dark nightshade berries in the woods—those are poisonous. Stick to known human food. Also make sure that what you’re eating is fully ripe. Most green bell peppers that you’ll see on the grocery store shelf are just unripe versions of the red bell peppers nearby. Opt for the red ones,because a green pepper or tomato (unless it’s a variety that’s green when ripe)is still in the nightshade realm and can be an irritant. (Anything at such an unripe stage can be irritating.) Once ripe,the fruit itself is no longer actually a nightshade.
愿天下人健康、平安、健康。
