If you're going to characterize me as being one way or another, please give me a concrete example. What is the X & Y that leads to Z?

From my experience, the human body/mind is so complex that I believe it is impossible be sure of how a body will respond to a particular diet. Generally speaking, we know that veggies are good for us, but I'm sure there are many people who are healthy on a non veggie diet, or at least I wouldn't want to say that there was no one who could be healthy on a non veggie diet.
Are you characterizing me or implying that I would say that no one can be healthy on a non veggie diet? Did I ever say that? As a matter of fact, I said before I became a vegan I was just as healthy as I am now. Not only did you get it wrong but you seem to be wandering off the topic of "artificial sweeteners".

I have to say that VPL your info although not new, made me look again at our menus and to be more conscious about including more salads. But I find that it isn't useful or calming for me to be thinking about my food choices so much. Food combining has always worked best for me and although I have adopted a gluten free diet and practically eliminated our use of sugar, I find that I am not as occupied with the choices now as when I tried to maintain a stricter more vegetarian style diet. It allows for living more in the grey and feeling more balanced.
I'm glad you are including more salads. That's great! But the topic....aren't you totally off topic?
