Well, we both can make assumptions, that's common ground isn't it...lol.

No speciality area, just general....covered stuff from chemistry to physics, birds to fish to human anatomy and physiology to genetics. It was interesting, fun and stuff I really enjoyed and still do.

It is frustrating to watch and listen to some who report "science" when they really have no knowledge of some of the processes that are involved, and they draw conclusions that "seem" logical when in fact, they are not. But, it is just as frustrating for computer geeks when they have to explain and explain just what's going on in that little container of circuit boards..... Everyone has something they do well or better than another. My husband has the patience of a saint when I walk up to him with my laptop in my hands, ranting on that he "has to fix this dam thing" or I'm going to go crazy! I, we, all of us, have more to learn about the body and how and why it works the way it does, we discover something new so frequently, it's amazing!

I've read many of those books put out by various doctors, some MDs, some PhDs......interesting concepts, but in actuality, some of what is said to work for maximum whatever, never does. The plans quickly fall out of favor because they just don't work well. Remember that plan from years ago....lots and lots of fruit for breakfast? can't remember what it was called.....very bad for diabetics, but this author was convinced it was okay.

I recognize that the diet plan you use to maintain your wellness is sound for you, though one does have to plan well to make sure essential nutrients aren't missing. Nutritional deficiencies don't always manifest right away and could take years to show. I am neither a physician nor nutritionalist, but do have some understanding of what a body needs to function, physically and biochemically.
Each day, more and more of the mysteries of what the human body is, unfold. It's amazing to have this information made known to us. Everyone wants to make a buck and may do so with little regard for really dispensing accurate information....we just have to be diligent and do our best to make certain that what we do to maintain ourselves, is true and of benefit.


I've rambled on enough, VPL. Again I will wish you to live long and prosper.
