When we talk about unbiased, I question whether any study is every truly unbiased. We can't even get truly unbiased double bind studies as each person has a unique constitution and history and emotional make up, so you can't even really get a "pure" group. So it really boils down to each person having to make choices that resonate best at the time and then living with the consequence of those choices whatever they be.

Personally I choose what "feels" right at the moment and I know that 100% allegiance to one focus or another is really "out of balance" in the real world, as it becomes so much a part of our personal "story" and who wants to always focus on and reiterate their story when there are so many other interesting things to occupy our attention.

That being said, I do believe that in our western diet, more attention to veggies is important, and even more important is the quality of the soil in which the veggies are grown. There are so many factors that are part of this discussion that it can be overwhelming so I guess like all things you do what you can when you can and decide for yourself what feels right for you.

Dr. Bruce Lipton talks about the Biology of Beliefs (you can see it on You tube) and that really shows how important your beliefs (both conscious and unconscious) in relation to your health and the ability of your body to keep you healthy. It is often difficult for us to discern our beliefs and those that we have inherited over our lifetime. Some of them are still useful and some are really of no use to us now as we have moved beyond their usefulness. This all affects the choices we make and the conclusions we draw. Too much to think about, so I think I will go and play my ukelele!
