The question is: what foods are rich in L-Dopa? Should we therefore avoid them, eat them in moderation, or bulk up on them?

- twelvechairs 7y agoYou should do neither right now. Just focus on normal healthy eating habits.
- lactobacillis 7y agoThat begs the question of course: What are normal healthy eating habits? Our eating habits have been formed by mass marketing for many decades so I would not call them normal. Even the fresh fruit and vegetables I see in the supermarkets (Coles and Woolworths in Australia) do not look normal.

But the other things listed above are about as universally and unequivocally considered healthy with the understanding of food we have, with regard to commonly available foods in a western diet. * almond, peanut, walnut, pistachio, pecan, cashew, macadamia too if fodmap issues arent a concern. Same with alliums, brassicaceae, legumes.
- ConsiderCrying 7y agoVelvet and fava beans seem to be the ones mentioned most. I don't think going all in on an L-Dopa 'diet' would be a good idea unless you consult with your doctor first, as is standard. Either way, no point in rushing to eat more beans, just eat healthy.
