Guest guest Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 Hi Warren: Very interesting stuff. EAT NUTS!!! I have found that no matter how many almonds I eat (just straight almonds, not the ones cooked in oil with salt added), it does not seem to affect my weight notwithstanding the fat content. Strange. But it is interesting that it seems I am not the only one. I once met the Dr. Allan Handysides mentioned near the end of the article, when he was in private practice. He is one of the good guys. There are only two things the Seventh Day Adventists do wrong (in my opinion, of course): their failure to drink modest amounts of wine, and their eating rather too many calories : ^ ))) Rodney. > Seventh Day Adventists are a group widely studied. > Their lifestyle is free of tobacco and alcohol, and > is vegetarian centered.
