Why Diets Disagree on Pea Protein

Diabetic-Friendly classifies pea protein as Allowed because it evaluates foods by glycemic impact and blood sugar effect. 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. 8 diets classify pea protein as Limited — meaning it fits under specific conditions like portion size, preparation method, or brand selection.
