Hey,
I recently read an old post here which mentioned Ayurveda. For those who don't know, Ayurveda or Ayurvedic medicine is a system of Hindu traditional medicine native to the Indian subcontinent (from wikipedia).
Ayurveda has "guidelines" for ideal/not ideal food combinations. One combination that really caught my eye was milk and fruit.
Milk and fruit, according to Ayurveda, is a bad combination. Bananas and milk is an especially bad combination. Fruit is best, they really emphasize this, to be eaten by itself. Milk is also best to be drank by itself. You can do a quick google search for a list of recommended food combinations. There are exceptions to many rules. For example, milk with dates is okay. Fruit with some other fruit is also okay.
"Poor combining can produce indigestion, fermentation, putrefaction and gas formation and, if prolonged, can lead to toxemia and disease."
I'm interested in hearing your thoughts and opinions about this, because it's basically just the opposite of what is recommended here and by Peat. Fruit with milk is essentially the core of many peaters' diet, oj and milk being the most popular combination.
I'm not an expert in either field, peating or Ayurveda, so I don't really know what to think.
