Also capsaicin, piperine, etc. The list is extensive. Remember: Herbs and spices are where medicinal remedies originated.
- ufo 4y agoDeep down, AIP is one of those fad diets that prohibit more things than there's evidence for. It's justified based on some pseudoscientific ideas about certain foods causing autoimmune issues. People might say things about intestinal permeability, but the scientific connection can be a bit sketchy.
