“We have one day where people got sick quite quickly because the source of the outbreak, we believe, is red kidney beans that weren’t boiled for long enough to reduce the toxins.

Translation troubles

This link below doesn't seem like a diet but based on your physiology, blood type can help people add/subtract foods to see which foods have lectins that can cause gut irritation, discomfort and bloating even if you just had a little bit of food and feel like you swallowed a basketball. It got me off kidney beans and reduced my chicken consumption from the lectin in chicken that causes red blood cells to stick together that's not in other poultry so I switched to turkey. I'm one of the 3% of people that have blood type AB and I am predisposed to autoimmune issues. Select your blood type and see if the food chart offers help. It's not gospel to me otherwise I wouldn't be smoking meat or curing it based on my so called lower stomach acid compared to other blood types. It's something to consider if you have issues sometimes with foods.
