Huhh? What the heck are members of the nightshade family and why shouldn't we eat them? Sounds to me like that someone is smoking sumpthin illegal depending on where they live.
A friend of mine said she had read that eliminating veggies from the nightshade family would relieve symptoms of arthritis. There is no evidence to support this idea. She tried it for a few months and then gave it up. It didn't help.
