So, as a blood type A-, I've been avoiding nightshades. After I did the elimination diet, I noticed reactions to all nightshades, so I cut them out. However, I recently had some potatoes, and noticed they didn't have any effect on me - no inflammation, no upset stomach, etc... I found out later they were soaked to remove the starch. I found out after some searching that soaking potatoes also reduces Acrylamide, a byproduct of cooking starch...
So I'm curious because I don't know if the soaking does anything to remove/reduce the lectins in potatoes, or whether the lectins are connected to/same as the starches? Perhaps the whole question isn't worth it and I should let go of potatoes just like cheese...
