Too much fruit can be a problem - all that fructose (and, indeed,

Lots of vegetables can be problematical for some people - e.g those

It will be the deadly nightshade family issue.

However, I have to question why the namers of these things emphasise
"deadly nightshade" rather then the relatively neutral "Solanaceae" or
subfamily "Solanoideae"?

That also includes potatoes. I haven't heard this kooky "theory" tho.

From my position in the universe, I have suspicions about the theory.
