Answer

Fruits that tested in the lowest-reactivity MRT band

Answer

Lean proteins with no MRT reactivity

Answer

Non-starchy vegetables from the green MRT band

Question 7

How does cross-reactivity between foods affect LEAP reintroduction planning?

Accepted Answer

Foods from the same botanical or chemical family may need to be spaced apart, as a reaction to one may predict reactions to related foods

Cross-reactive foods must always be introduced simultaneously to confirm reactivity

Answer

It is irrelevant because MRT measures individual foods, not food families

Answer

Cross-reactive foods are automatically excluded from all LEAP diets permanently
