Here is a verse, from Shankaracharya's 'Sopana or sadhana panchakam':
क्षुद्व्याधिश्च चिकित्स्यतां प्रतिदिनं भिक्षौषधं भुज्यतां
स्वाद्वन्नं न तु याच्यतां विधिवशात्प्राप्तेन सन्तुष्यताम्।
स्वाद्वन्नं न तु याच्यतां विधिवशात्प्राप्तेन सन्तुष्यताम्।
Maybe there are references to this concept in the Mahabharata, etc.

Caraka Samhita would continue as the magisterial resource.

If you know Telugu,
there are a big number of books by one Dr G V Purnachandra Rao, a practicing Ayurvedic doctor, writer and novelist.:

I have given a number of lectures on Ayurvedic approach to food, nutrition and lifestyle regimens but not sure if they are available online. You need to check. I am speaking on the same topic in Bangalore as well. These said, I do have some published papers on this topic. If you think it would be of some use, I can mail them.

It is part of Ayurveda.The Nighantus or Materia Medica provide a whole lot information.Even Sweets such as Kundali or जिलेबी are described for their effects on the human body when consumed along with recipes.

Dear Srinivas Sir,
The Ahmedabad based PunarUtthan organization has published "Aharshastra" compiled by Sri Indumati Katdare and others. The division of book is something like 1) Purpose of Ahar, 2) Ahar mimamsa, 3) Taittiriya upanishad and Ann, 4) Ahar as per shastra and 5) Nutrition of Panchakosha by ahar.
Hope you are looking for similar work.
Dhanyoshmi,
Sunil

Dear Prof. Kannan,
Do you know from where the two verses cited below come? I have known the second since my school days, but not its source.

The latter verse is, I guess, from
kAs'yapa-samhitA.
Have not been able to check the reference.
Not sure about the first one.

1. Ayurvedic knowledge of food as medicine percolated down to the common people in pre-modern India so much that people particularly elders even of my parents' generation used to easily talk about vaata, pitta, kapha, ushNa, s'eeta effects of both raw and cooked food.
2. Probably this knowledge was region-specific because we have such a wide diversity of food habits all over India, but people of each region knew the
vaata, pitta, kapha, ushNa, s'eeta effects of their respective food.
3. How such effects for the new food items which arrived from outside India were identified by Ayurvedic bhishaks is interesting to enquire.

Thanks Yadu ji for bringing up the Taitttiriya reference. In a line just before what you have cited, in the Bhashyam it is said as to why 'annam', food, is called 'auShadham': Mantra:
अन्नं हि भूतानां ज्येष्ठम् । तस्मात्सर्वौषधमुच्यते । Bhashyam:
तस्मात् सर्वौषधं सर्वप्राणिनां देहदाहप्रशमनमन्नमुच्यते ॥ The commentary of Sureshwara/Anandagiri/Vanamala clarify thus: When a person is in need of food, that is when he is hungry, the fire in the stomach, called 'jATharAgni', burns the dhAtu-s, the vital essence in the body. This burning is called 'ओषणम्'. When food is provided, in any form, like drinking, masticating, swallowing, licking, etc. the burning is curbed. Hence food is called 'औषधम्'.

Namste:
I think this brings out TWO important points:
1. Definition of the term "FOOD"
अद्यते तत् अन्नम् AND अत्ति तत् अन्नम्
2. Make Food your medicine, meaning the best delivery form for medicine is FOOD.
This being a diluted form of medication (active Principle) body has sufficient time to deal with any adverse reactions, whatever, they may be.
Too much or non-suitable food will destroy the one who consumes it.
Little bit fat is absolutely necessary for the heart muscle, because it derives energy through the Beta-Oxidation of Fat, however, it will create and block your arteries as well.
3. Popular Prakashan Mumbai have published TWO volumes
Indian Materia Medica. Author Dr. K.M. Nadkarni
This has lot of good information.
