Why Diets Disagree on Mussels
AIP classifies mussels as Allowed because it evaluates foods by whether the food contains compounds AIP suspects of provoking immune activity. 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. 1 diet classify mussels as Limited — meaning it fits under specific conditions like portion size, preparation method, or brand selection.
