That sounds great, Paul!! I'm not trying here to in any way imply that
that is not what's going on - just throwing more information out there,
to help better understand things.

Sounds great, Paul. Probably no better medicine on earth! ;)

I would be too, seeing as what they really are, are artificial
laxatives. Did you have a problem with constipation, or for some reason
feel you need help to eliminate?

How do you know its toxic materials? And how do you know its old, and
not just yesterday's foods?

Again - just a question to consider here - why do you feel its extra
material you're carrying around in your colon, and not just weak muscles
in your lower abdomen, due to age and not enough excercise there? Or
overeating having possibly stretched things out down there?

Yes! They do, and they are good, i agree!! :)

And you replied:

No! Most definately not - I agree. That's not why I mentioned this . I
agree with you - it is much more fun, and makes more sense, to just tend
to the larger issues, and not stress out over every piciyune detail
about eating. All that worrying kind of defeats the purpose of attaining
overall health, anyway, probably.
The reason I mentioned it, is because it is so tempting to jump to
simplistic conclusions about which foods are doing what, and how our
health or mental problems can all be solved if we do such and such with
food, and adopt rigid diet regimes based on these erroneous conclusions,
and maybe be confused when our actual health doesn't seem to coincide
with our expectations about our imagined health.

Hope you don't think I'm saying anyone needs to have advanced degrees to
be able to eat right. I sure didn't mean to say that. In fact, the
healthiest and most long-lived people in the world probably don't even
have a masters degree. (har har). In fact, now that I'm thinking about
it, maybe advanced degrees get in the way of health and longevity.
No just kidding.
But really - I sure agree with you that formal education and reading all
the wild amounts of popular literature on health and nutrition and food
and eating and whatnot - most definatly are not necessary for good
health!
Anyway, thanks for your nice reply!
Love, Liza
