Hi Everybody-- Thanks for the instincto info. about "stopping". I just subscribed to this list, but have done raw off and on for years. I am a vegetarian and am trying to ease up on carbs--sometimes I wonder if there will be any food left that I will eat. It's becoming more apparent to me to think I need to grow my own food, because of the contamination of produce. I am interested to know about the old sugar detox idea (is this happening in diabetes?) I wish I could get that Atkins tv or radio show in Calif. Mary J.
