Here is another article from two nutritionist at the University of UH-Manoa, Hawaii.

He says "Shelton taught that the following combinations are indigestible: "acids" and starches; proteins and starches; acids and proteins; fats and proteins; sugars and proteins; sugars and starches (note that Shelton classified sweet fruits as starches); melons and anything other than fresh fruit; and even two different proteins. Such pronouncements were debunked more than 70 years ago in both scientific and popular literature".
