Salmonella typhimurium is a pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria predominately found in the intestinal lumen. Its toxicity is due to an outer membrane consisting largely of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) which protect the bacteria from the environment.
Nightshade vegetables are plant foods that grow at night instead of during the day, such as potatoes and tomatoes. They offer the body a variety of vitamins and minerals but can also cause pain in certain individuals. These foods may also aggravate pre-existing conditions, such as osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia.
Nightshadesâall belonging to a scientific family of plants called Solanaceaeâinclude several thousand species of flowering plants, and most of these plants are not edible as food. At the very same time, however, there are a good number of nightshades that have been enjoyed as staple foods in diets for literally thousands of years. Our WHFoods nightshades include: tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, and bell peppers. Nightshades can also be found in our profiled herbs and spices, and these nightshades include cayenne pepper and chili pepper. Like all of our 100 WHFoods, nightshades are nutrient-rich. Bell peppers, for example, are our second most concentrated source of vitamin C. Tomatoes are our second most concentrated source of biotin, as well as our second most concentrated source of lycopene (a carotenoid phytonutrient).
