परिणमतस्त्वाहारस्य गुणाः शरीरगुणभावमापद्यन्ते यथास्वमविरुध्दा: ; विरुध्दाश्च विहन्युर्विहताश्च विरोधिभिःशरीरम् ||१६||

sanskrit

The attributes of the food ingredients assume the attributes of (or become homologous with) the tissue elements of the body during the process of transformation. These are not contradictory in nature. Whereas when they are contradictory, the properties of one act against the other resulting in the destruction of the body.
