I am not convinced, yet, that Taubes is right about carbs; but I am beginning to think he has something valuable to say about "calories in/calories out" and the idea that all calories affect the body in the same way. Food being so much a part of the human being -- it becomes us! -- I don't doubt that there are forces involved beyond the ability of a purely mechanistic science to identify. I know that, for the traditional Chinese -- at least, per my ex wife, who is both a MD and a DOM and good at both -- "chi" or vital energy, a universal principle in human life, on a level intermediate between physical and spiritual, is part of food's effect on the human being and depends on the foods quality, freshness, preparation and even the manner in which it is served and the preparer's attitudes and values. I daresay that one could find other valid analyses of food in traditional cultures that escape the merely biochemical analysis, sophisticated as it is, common in the modern approach. -- Patrick Moore Albuquerque, NM For professional resumes, contact Patrick Moore, ACRW http://resumespecialties.com/index.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
