Here's what I had in mind when I said what I said. The part about "straying from nature" pertains to everything that happens over a lifetime, i.e., continuous long-term lifestyle habits. However, once that lifestyle is firmly in place and heart disease has been established, what other choice is there but to be under the care of a heart doctor? Especially if there's no desire, intention or ability to change those lifestyle habits.

Care should be taken with eating green leafy vegetables and eating the right amount if you are on Coumadin or other medicines taken to lower the risk of stroke.
Yes, exactly, in my post I said, "....vitamin K can interfere with some anticoagulant drugs."

Your link provided a lot of the same information that I found when I did my research. And it more or less proves the ignorance of any doctor who suggests that dark green vegetables are anything less than healthful for the average person.
