Why Diets Disagree on Chorizo
Carnivore classifies chorizo as Allowed because it evaluates foods by whether the food comes from an animal. Alkaline, on the other hand, classifies it as Not Allowed because it evaluates by PRAL score (potential renal acid load). Different diets use different evaluation criteria, which is why the same food can receive opposite classifications. 3 diets classify chorizo as Limited — meaning it fits under specific conditions like portion size, preparation method, or brand selection.
