A member asked:
Is it true that we should not combine foods which contain protein and starch in a meal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Perhaps for some but: Some nutritionists feel certain food combinations like protein and starches (found in most sandwiches) are difficult to digest. These theories are based on the process of how we digest. Others feel this is nonsense. See http://www.Centerholistic.Com/index.Php/health/food-combining many people seem to digest most combinations fine but some people with digestive problems feel these guidelines help.
