At first, I found many of his videos interesting. I didn't adhere to anything in particular, as I know there are so many arguments for or against various foods and categories of foods. But a couple of months ago, I just gave up watching his s*** altogether. It just seemed so one-sided, to the point I was wondering if he was being paid by certain companies to discourage the consumption of certain foods.
Anyway, I have been experiencing a dry cough throughout the day for months now, which I attributed to asthma intensified by pollen. But it's become so invasive, I wanted to research if it could be caused by certain foods I'm eating regularly. I haven't completely ruled out "whooping cough," but the symptoms don't seem to line up with that. In the last couple of years, my consumption of spices and herbs used in Indian-style food has increased greatly. I've always used garlic and onions regularly, as well as vegetables (in my daily salad) and fruits Gundry calls "nightshades," but I've been making my own Indian dishes almost daily now for a solid year, using cumin, turmeric, garlic, ginger, and garam masala. So, with the exception of peperine, I'm getting regular doses of capsaicin, gingerol, and allicin. Now, in my search regarding inducing coughing, I come across this "nightshade" business.
Do you trust his opinions, or is he some sort of corporate lacky?
EDIT: And what seems to be a reasonable counterpoint to much of what Gundry (and others) says.
