Is there scientific evidence linking diet to causing amyloidosis?

Research shows that amyloidosis is not caused by what you eat, including protein intake. The amyloid proteins that cause the condition are made by cells in your body - they do not come from food sources. While diet cannot cause, prevent, or treat amyloidosis, eating a healthy balanced diet is still important for managing symptoms and complications. One early study suggested green tea extract may slow down certain types of amyloidosis, but this research is still in preliminary stages and requires more clinical trials to confirm any benefits.
