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

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

And anyone with arthritis might like to try avoiding tomatoes and
sweet peppers.

Not heard that one before. Would you care to elaborate?

But aren't tomatoes (especially when processed into tomato sauce)
supposed to ward off prostate cancer? I think I'd rather live with the
arthritis.

Most tomatoes taste disgusting to me, so I don't eat them. It's my
body's way of telling me they're not for me. Simple really. Eat what you
fancy and to hell with the theories

Small problem with that is some of the absolutely lethal Amanita
species actually taste fantastic but are utterly deadly even in small
doses. This results in more fatalities than if they tasted unpleasant.

They also have the very nasty habit of allowing you to more or less
recover before causing total organ failure of liver and kidneys.

I have eaten some of the safe Amanita fungi with some trepidation and
they do taste really good. I still prefer morels. YMMV

Morel definitely my favourite apart from Ceps.

Shaggy parasols ain't bad.
And any of the various agaricus.
But its amazing how many species of edible fungi there are that you try
and say 'OK, edible, but honestly wouldn't you rather buy some better
ones from Tesco?'
