Solanine Toxicity

Keep in mind that all nightshade plants, like tomatoes and potatoes, contain a natural toxin called alpha-solanine. This toxin is more concentrated in the leaves and stems, and unripe green tomatoes and potatoes have higher levels of it. Even ripe nightshade vegetables contain small amounts of this harmful toxin, which can cause various health issues. Alpha-solanine acts as a natural pesticide and can be harmful if consumed in large amounts. It can affect the body by interfering with important functions like calcium levels, leading to conditions like osteoporosis and cardiovascular problems. In some cases, it can also impact the thyroid and other vital organs in the body
