Who Should Avoid Eating Eggplant?

Dr. Margarita Korolyova, a Russian nutritionist, announced that individuals suffering from diverticulitis should avoid consuming eggplant. The expert notes in an interview with "Moscow 24" that people with autoimmune diseases should also minimize their intake of eggplant as much as possible. Additionally, she mentions other conditions such as thyroiditis, as well as joint and intestinal diseases. She emphasizes that those with allergies or diverticulitis should completely refrain from eating eggplant. The expert points out that certain substances in eggplant can exacerbate inflammatory processes. In the case of diverticulitis, the seeds of eggplant may enter the affected area of the intestines and worsen the condition.
