Oh and some references for you to check out as this will also be my last response:
The China Study - T. Colin Campbell and Thomas M. Campbell
The Starch Solution - John McDougall
Dr. Neal Barnard's Program for Reversing Diabetes - Neal Barnard
Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease - Caldwell Esselstyn
All the info I have mentioned is reinforced in those books, with clinical data base studies to back it up. It's up to you if you want to read it.
