                                Originating from early 20th-century diet theories, the principle of food combining is a popular but contested topic. In modern nutrition, the belief that **why shouldn't you eat starch and protein together** has been largely debunked by scientific evidence, as the human digestive system is remarkably capable of handling mixed macronutrient meals.
