You go, girl! I, too, think it's pretty obvious what are major offenders
and what are just nits. No-nos, in my book, would be starches, really
sugary fruits in large quantities, more than one or two cups of coffee or
black tea - anything that's going to zap your pancreas into a dangerous
excitement. And anything really poisonous, which means anything you
absolutely have to cook to get rid of toxins. DO New World. DO butter. DO
eat anything you want that's raw. And enjoy your food; a lot of us have
spent our lives being afraid of our food. That's over now. And don't get
into a rut. That's over, too. Cheers,

ginny and Tomo
