Food Families – Short List

If you find you have sensitivities with a member of a certain food family, it would be considered wise to eliminate all others, in that family or at least cut back on them. The food family members possess similar chemical structures (i.e. proteins, alkaloids, sugars, and toxins) though their “packaging” is similar or different. Even mild consumption can be found to cause reactions, even in the smallest of quantities. It is the little bit from lots of the same family which end up being the source of the biggest irritation. For example – there is a difference in my reactions even between species of apples, whether they are conventionally or organic grown. This is a recommendation not a rule as not everyone has the same allergy, sensitivity or intolerance. As biochemical individuals, unique to our genes, it is best during dietary elimination and testing/evaluation to make note of these families and document any interrelationships. The number of plants and animals we consume from all over this world can be pretty overwhelming. This list is the most complete reflecting current and commonly consumed foods as per all the research online and in books. Plants get reclassified based on analyses and there may be updates after the publication of the book. Families and specific members of a family that are marked with an ^ are will be available on the web at http://www.keileswellnesscare.com/foodfamilysummary.html. This web page will describe the benefits and drawbacks of consuming those other members of those food families.
