Why Diets Disagree on Cashews
Alkaline classifies cashews as Allowed because it evaluates foods by PRAL score (potential renal acid load). AIP, on the other hand, classifies it as Not Allowed because it evaluates by whether the food contains compounds AIP suspects of provoking immune activity. Different diets use different evaluation criteria, which is why the same food can receive opposite classifications. 5 diets classify cashews as Limited — meaning it fits under specific conditions like portion size, preparation method, or brand selection.
