Is ackee allowed on the Tayyibat diet?

Unresolved

Unresolved. His rules point both ways on this food, so the food list does not give it a yes or a no.

Why the answer on ackee is not simple

Eaten unripe or prepared wrong, it's poisonous. One careless batch is one too many, so treat it as a no.

The detail

Toxic (hypoglycin A) unless fully ripe and correctly prepared. The system has no margin for a food that is dangerous when prepared carelessly, so it is treated as excluded.

Did the doctor say this himself?

Follows from his rules. Not a ruling he gave.
