Quick question for the group

[Guest guest]

Sorry if this isn't strictly CRON related, but my mother wanted me to ask the group for advice on the best way to lower triglicerides. She's trying to eat a healthy diet with low salt and fat, and doing a brisk 30 minute walk daily, but IIRC she has a weakness for peanut butter. Could this be the culprit?

Also, she wanted me to ask if anyone had heard anything convincing regarding the importance of the acidity/alkalinity balance of food. I guess, something she read (not always scientific) claimed that it can be important. I said it sounded very "70's" to me, but I would ask.

Feel free to reply off-list if you don't want to clutter up the list.

thanks in advance,

chris
