 diet. According to her, when there is too much copper, not enough zinc the
 body does not tolerate red meats well, which is too bad, since they are just
 about the best food to reverse unfavorable copper/zinc balance).  In general,

        In general i do not eat a typical American diet, and I take my vits
and minerals.  I have not read any of Gittleman, will have to do so.  What is
"SAD" ?
        I appreciate the help.  thanx
