A study of Asian vegetarians with incomplete amino acid intake showed reduced clearing of xenobiotics.47 Low levels of hydrochloric acid have an adverse impact on the availability of dietary amino acids, even in a higher protein diet, so stimulating the pancreas using lacto - fermented foods is crucial.

Most traditional diets which rely on high glycemic index starches, like white rice or corn tortillas, use them in a way which minimizes their impact on blood glucose: they are always eaten together with plenty of vegetables, herbs and spices which provide fiber, acidity and phytonutrients slowing down the digestion of the starches and counteracting the adverse effects of high blood glucose.
