For Dianne,
This possibility has always intrigued me also.
In case you do not remember every single post to this list;
I am the "nut" that quit eating sugar in 1950 at age 23.
It seemed to take a year to see results; but they have been
beneficial.
Later I thought I heard one "Corey Bailey" on public TV say
that it takes a year for our intestine to convert from using
sugar to using fat--but I could not find that in his book.
When I think about how well the human system copes with a
poor diet and survives then I think that this is the
problem!
Some persons merely survive malnutrition; Others have
contoured the world on good nutrition---but the results are
attributed to Nationality or Race! (The Mongols ate raw
meat!)
Dianne please keep us informed,
Regards, Lorenzo
