Additional Informations
Paximadi, a traditional Greek bread that is typically double-baked and hard, has not been specifically studied for its impact on histamine levels. The concrete evidence about its effect on the histamine level is not available due to limited scientific research.
However, considering its basic ingredients which can vary and might include whole wheat flour, yeast, water, and salt (1), we can infer a few things about its potential impact on histamine levels. The yeast, a fungi, used in baking is generally included in the list of foods high in histamine content (2). Therefore, it's possible that the yeast in Paximadi could contribute to higher histamine levels in the body. Besides, many baked goods might contain additives or preservatives, some of which are known to be histamine liberators.
Regarding the potential of Paximadi to lower histamine levels, it's challenging to draw a concrete conclusion because, as stated earlier, there is no substantial scientific evidence available specifically about Paximadi's impact on histamine levels.
To date, no food has been clinically proven to reduce histamine levels significantly. Some studies suggest that certain vitamins and minerals (such as vitamin C, vitamin B6, vitamin E, and copper) may help support DAO (the main enzyme responsible for histamine breakdown) activity, but it's unclear whether these nutrients' presence in a food could have a significant impact on histamine levels (3).
In conclusion, eating Paximadi may affect histamine levels due to its yeast content, but more research needs to be conducted before making definitive claims.
