I agree on the freshness of food and even the environment in which its served being important. Stress in my life messes with my digestion and I know much food in modern processing losses nutrition. I skimmed the article and read the readers comments.......only one dissenter and I'm not surprised at his position given his wife's training. Some who have been educated in the medical field and sciences in the last 40 years are in that same group and can't seem to get past (parts) of their education. I'm always reminded (with good reason) that medical folks 'practice medicine'. Interesting bit about high fructose corn syrups reaction in the body by one poster (kind of forgot that) and have read of it in other books. I have two daughters in the medical field currently with one on her way to a RN degree....we discuss some this together and I see the light bulb clicking on when we do. In my own personal life ( recently ) I've been cheating too much and consuming too many extra carbs (beer, some bread and sweets).....not surprisingly, my fat loss has plateaued not to mention my energy level has gone down and I'm seeing some of signs of unhealthiness with my body returning in the form of skin rashes etc. Just attained medical insurance at work so I'll be having my blood work done soon and we'll see how I am doing. Was on my feet 14 hours yesterday working on my house in high heat.....something I am not used to doing and couldn't six months ago. Missed my bicycle ride so I plan on a short ten mile spin on the SimpleOne today.
