Before I ever got into living foods I was making observations on people. I was teaching at an international school in South America in Chile. I noticed that the generation of Japanese/Korean junior high students who had grown up on the more western diet replete with more meat, chemicals, additives, preservatives, sugars, etc. grew much taller than their parent's generation. I felt later this was due to the effect of chemicals on the endocrine system that stimulated growth. Any thoughts, Kind Regards, http://www.sheilas.com
