Why is tapioca listed as being both tamasic and sattvic? Is that possible?
Yes - tapioca is sattvic as milk is sattvic - it nourishes ojas, has wholesomeness and purity. However, tapioca and milk are both heavy. For some individuals, this means they could have a tamasic effect as well. So I listed it in both.
Milk is tamsic is something that contradicts ancient ayurveda. Are you suggesting that anything that is heavy is tamsic? That does not sounds right as per ayurveda principles. Could you elaborate?
Agreed - according to classical Ayurveda, these are both sattvic. Since they are heavy, they could have a tamasic effect for some Kapha individuals. That is why I listed as both. Part of the issue here is that sattva and tamasic are spiritual terms for a specific tradition. Generally, I don't consider these terms medical but philosophical, hence the confusion.
