Most doctors reccommend eating whatever you can tolerate, unless you are already on a restricted diet.

“Most doctors recommend eating whatever you can tolerate, unless you are already on a restricted diet.”

It depends on the definition of what it means to ‘tolerate’. For example, I can ‘tolerate’ radioactive isotopes for a relatively small amount of time and be fine. But extend that time to days, weeks, or months, and I’m (literally) toast. Likewise, I can ‘tolerate’ carbs for a certain amount of time, but extend that to weeks or months and I’ll have Metabolic Syndrome, extend it years, and it will be Diabetes.

I think it’s better to eat what one can tolerate indefinitely without adverse effects, or, if stuck with crappy foods, consider simply not eating them if no alternative (and of course, if you’re not starving yourself).

Yes. I have heard it put this way: “Food as medicine”.
