MOSCOW, 6 Sep. Dietitian Margarita Koroleva told the Moscow 24 portal that people with autoimmune diseases should minimize the use of eggplant. She included thyroiditis, as well as diseases of the joints and intestines, among such diseases. The specialist emphasized that in the presence of allergies or diverticulitis, these vegetables should be discarded. The doctor of medical sciences recalled that the substances contained in eggplants can contribute to increased inflammatory processes. With diverticulitis, eggplant seeds can get into the affected area and cause an exacerbation.
