The doctor noted that sweet peppers contain a third of the daily dose of cobalt, so if there are no contraindications, he recommends eating the vegetable raw, especially for people with thyroid disorders, hormonal imbalances and iron deficiency anemia.
The potential harm of sweet peppers lies in the poison they contain, which is a component of all nightshades. In case of diseases of the liver, kidneys, heart, joints, sweet peppers should be excluded from the diet.
“Solanaceae contains certain poisons – alkaloids. If a person has liver or kidney diseases, or if the excretory system suffers, pepper, like all nightshades (and this includes potatoes, eggplants and tomatoes), should be excluded from the diet. Peppers are also not recommended for use for arrhythmia, angina pectoris, joint diseases, gastritis in the acute phase and peptic ulcers,” Duval said.
