Guest guest Posted August 14, 2002 Report Share Posted August 14, 2002 Hi , You bring up good points. Information out there can get so confusing. I have said before I have been vegetarian, vegan, on macrobiotics and then nothing but raw, switched over to NT (All on which I kept getting sicker and sicker) and now low carb (finally seems to be helping). Every time I made any kind of change I researched, took classes and asked questions. I literally have HUNDRED of books on nutrition. All of them, without exception, state that their way is the only way to health, and they have many, many testimonials to " prove " it. The other day I was looking at this. Here we have " eat only sea weed, " Over here we have " eat only high carbs and no animal products, " then over here it all has to be " raw right out of the ground, " then we jump over to eat mostly animal, especially fats. What do they ALL HAVE IN COMMON that could possibly be the common denominator to health? Every one of them says NO SUGAR, CHEMICALS OR WHITE FLOUR. As to eating high carb, low carb, vegetarian, or meat eater, I believe it has to do with each individual's metabolism, genetics, and health history.
