I've also known cases where children raised vegetarian turned to
meat-eating in
adolescence.

Very true. And some of the low-carbers advocate aspartame and other
artificial substances.
Re: low-carb; the only way I have been able to lose weight is low-carb.
I think low-carb is
very important for people with blood-sugar anomalies: diabetes,
pre-diabetes, hypoglycemia.
My appetite drops way back, along with my food consumption, and I have
more energy.
I'm on the 4th day (of 7) of Faigin's Natural Hormonal Enhancement
U-turn; to get the body to
rely upon fat rather than carbs for fuel. I've been eating about every
4 hours, small meals
of meat, low-carb veggies, butter, olive oil. Today I'm feeling a bit
strung-out, so my glycogen
stores are probably nearly used up. So far, my digestion has improved,
the puffiness has gone
out of my face, my energy level is higher. After this week, the plan
calls for 2 big carb-up meals
a week which are low in fat and protein, and the rest of the time
low-carb, small meals, often.
My problem low-carbing before has been the thyroid goes south after a
few months of it, and
I fall off the wagon. Hopefully this will work better
