Before changing your diet

Talk to your doctor first, particularly if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, managing a diagnosed condition, or taking prescription medication.

Potassium deserves specific caution. Much of this site encourages potassium-rich eating. That is not appropriate for everyone. If you have kidney disease or reduced kidney function, or take ACE inhibitors, ARBs, or potassium-sparing diuretics, high potassium intake can be dangerous. Get medical advice before starting.

Supplements

Statements on this site have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. Nothing here is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Supplements can interact with medication.

Accuracy

Nutrient values are drawn from USDA FoodData Central and are given per 100 g for comparison. Actual values vary with variety, growing conditions, ripeness, and preparation. Treat them as guides rather than measurements of the specific item in your kitchen.

If you believe you have a medical emergency, contact your local emergency services immediately.
