| | Should You Avoid Nightshade Vegetables? It Depends |
|
| If you’ve spent any amount of time here on Mark’s Daily Apple, you know we love our vegetables. Plant foods are powerhouses of nutrients and antioxidant action. They’re the backbone of a solid Primal diet, and the main event in my signature Big Ass Salad. But the issue of nightshades has come up quite a bit over the years.

However, many conventional treatments—antibiotics, oral steroids, hormonal birth control pills, and isotretinoin (sold with brand name Accutane)—have serious, sometimes downright scary, side effects. Even when diet and lifestyle interventions don't fix all your skin issues, they’re bound to improve some aspects of your life, even if your skin doesn’t clear up completely. Learn More |

Pour in the milk and blend again for a few seconds. Pour the mixture over ice and garnish with sliced strawberries. |
