Hey Tom!
Thanks for the recommendation. I'll check out his website. Giving up fruit gives me pause, because of the antioxidants (and that French study that showed consumption of lots of different kind of fruits inversely correlated with breast cancer), but I imagine he's trying to get rid of sugar and gets the antioxidants in some other way.
I'm pretty much out of processed foods, aside from shredded wheat occasionally in the morning, but I definitely eat some meat, lots of eggs, and reasonable amounts of cheese and butter. My wife doesn't do fish, so I don't either, even though I'm a fan.
Fortunately, despite a family history of heart disease and diabetes, I don't seem to have acquired those tendencies. It's just the MDS with me.
I appreciate the thoughts!
Greg
