There is no hard evidence that these foods have any effect on Arthritis. I am a sufferer of RA and have never noted any effect as a result of indulging or not indulging in these foods. With tomatoes and peppers the myth goes that the acids effect the bone, however potatoes don't have the same property's, and in any case arthritis starts as a result of damage to cartilage which has nothing to do with bone, unless there is trauma causing bone damage which in turn causes cartilage damage which in turn then causes more bone damage.
