You’re so right! There’s also the compound effect which is basically all of the crap we’ve eaten for years, the cigarette smoking, the crash dieting, the alcohol consumption, compounded into a body of 30 plus years that can have a heavy effect on your blood panel. The problem too, is that it’s difficult to find foods without additives outside the produce section. Every single thing in the grocery store (regardless of country) has something added to it. Even our veggies are grown in poison (a lot of them).

Like you I believe that our diet is the answer to all of our health questions (at least most of them) yet there’s so much conflicting information out there. Eat vegan, you need meat, eat keto, there’s too much fat, eat paleo, fruit is good, fruit has too much sugar, fast intermittently, fast for several days, don’t consume dairy, eat yogurt, stay away from sugar, carbs break down into sugar… the messages are endless. If we all ate veggies, fruits, fish, and (insert the rest of your list here) then most of our problems would disappear. But what do you do about the compound effect? Sugar, in my opinion is the hardest drug to get off of and that is by design. It’s added to everything, by design. Can you imagen what kind of revenue the sugar industry makes… if bet wayyy more than the heroin trade 🤦🏼‍♀️ Rant over!

Thanks for dropping a line, or two, or several. It’s always nice to hear other perspectives.
