Fish and Curd: Myth vs. Reality on White Patches - Doctors Debunk Claims

• Traditional belief suggests eating fish and curd together causes white patches on the skin (leukoderma) and digestive issues due to their opposing properties.
• Ayurveda considers fish Tamasic and milk Sattvic, advising against their combination due to potential digestive imbalance.
• Doctors, including pediatrician Dr. Sourojit Gupta, refute these claims, stating no scientific evidence links fish and curd consumption to white patches.
• White patches are typically caused by melanocyte destruction or fungal infections, not food combinations.
• While generally safe in moderation, individuals with sensitive digestion, lactose intolerance, or milk protein allergies might experience mild issues like gas, bloating, or skin irritation.
