This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Are nightshade vegetables harmful? Please comment on nightshade vegetables. Do they cause inflammation? And if so, do we have to avoid them?

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Except for tobacco, all other nightshade vegetables can be taken in the recommended amount. Though they contain some chemicals, they are mostly in very minute amounts and are beneficial for health. The side effect documented is a personal account, and no research has concluded any harmful effects of these vegetables.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.
