Food list › Vegetables

Is edamame allowed on the Tayyibat diet?

No

No, by his rules. He never ruled on this food directly. The verdict follows from his rules.

Why edamame is off the list

Beans and peas stick to your gut lining, stop your body absorbing iron and zinc, and ferment into gas and bloating. That bloating is exactly what this system is meant to end. All beans and peas are out.

The detail

Lectins bind the gut lining, phytates block iron and zinc, and raffinose ferments into the bloating this system exists to remove. All legumes are out.

The rule behind the verdict

Beans and peas

Did the doctor say this himself?

Follows from his rules. Not a ruling he gave.
