That being said, each person must decide for him/herself and use whatever criteria feels right for him/her. And I don't believe that there is a one size fits all but rather versions of many, that at different points in a journey, will feel right. And probably each diet has been OK, at some point, for some people, for some time, for some reason. And I'm not the one to tell anyone what will work for them at this point in their journey. I have enough challenge choosing what works for me and I just thought that my comments might resonate with some people and above all I choose moderation in all things.

I think I have said enough on this subject so I'll free up the soapbox.

I've enjoyed your calm, well thought out response LW. Any study reported, whether in the news, in a book, can, and is most likely flawed. Researchers emphasize what THEY want to be shown. Forks Over Knives is constantly brought up as something we should all watch. In this documentary, the facts can be misleading in instances. Science is my thing, LW......and so far, no diet is perfect. Until that perfect eating plan is shown, we must all do what is best for each of us, as you've suggested. NOTHING in this world is absolute....
