I don't think so but nutritional "experts" still don't get it. You have
to eat what's right for your body type, something that is endemic in

So why are western researchers so silly? Pass the sushi, please.
Do you think people's bodies are smart enough to "tell" them what
foods to gravitate to? In other words, do we tend towards those
things/want to eat what the body needs without even being aware of it?
I find that I don't like "nightshades", things like green peppers and
eggplant. I had a naturopath tell me one time, that based on various
food sensitivities etc and my body type, that I shouldn't eat them
anyway. It was an interesting confirmation of why I didn't like them
long before someone told me I shouldn't eat them, for my personal
metabolism etc. On the other hand, based on my predisposition for
loving dark chocolate and maple syrup it could all be just based on
baseless sugar and carb cravings!
Those cravings aren't baseless. You're pitta so sweet things are trying
to cool you down. Or in Chinese/Japanese nomenclature you're too yang
and need more yin. The body does tell you what it needs but we often
ignore it and go with what the "experts" tell us we "should" be eating
and that "expert" advice might make us sick or fat if it is wrong for you.
