----- Original Message ----- From: "Kathleen Lunson" <[log in to unmask]> Fanaticism about what *I* eat is a life-saving, life-enhancing virtue. Fanaticism about what *other people* eat is not only a vice but also an exercise in futility Kathleen You are so right in this. If I eat any of my forbidden foods, grain, doesn't matter which one, legumes, green beans, pinto beans, tomatoes/potatoes, then I suffer joint pain. If I have dairy I suffer lethargy and what feels like sadness. I have tested them all over a two year period and kept notes. I will do so for another year, wait seven years and do it again. Oh, chocolate/cocoa causes me such restlessness for hours.... It's awful. I don't even test the blasted stuff....Oliva
