    Thanks everyone! And yes I eat natural sugars in fruits.

    The old saying goes "an apple a day keeps the doctor away."
    Dr. James Carlson gives us the FACTS about sugar in fruits.
    He says "An apple a day and the doctor you will pay".

    Sugar is sugar is sugar. Avoid it.

    Watch Dr. Carlson's YouTube videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d86WeZxCRUw
    Read his book called: "GENOCIDE How your doctors dietary ignorance will kill you", read most of it on his web site: http://drjamescarlson.com/

    He presents FACTS, not opinions.

    Where exactly does he get these so-called "facts?" I wonder because science does not generate facts, this is not the project of science. The project of science, especially any science that involves the use of statistics (which medicine and nutrition almost always does) is to rule out alternative hypotheses as highly unlikely, but this does not "prove" anything, or generate "facts." Eventually, some findings become widely replicated, and we trust those that have not been widely replicated. Similarly some theories stand up well to various tests, and eventually become well accepted in the scientific community. However, any theory or finding is open to revision in the light of subsequent findings. Anyone who tells you anything based on science is written in stone (i.e. "proven" or a "fact") is overstating their case.

    Please note that I am not anti-science or anti-statistics. I am a scientist with extensive additional training in statistics. Sorry for the rant, but this is a pet-peeve and I'm a little cranky this morning.

    My doctor just told me to go gluten free. I am really not sure what I am doing other than not eating grains except rice. I need help.

    Not all grains contain gluten. Oats do not contain gluten, although commercial oats are often contaminated with wheat, so it is often recommend that one buy gluten free oats (Bob's Red Mill is one brand that offers these). Buckwheat, despite it's name, is not wheat, and does not contain gluten. Quinoa, often mistaken for a grain (it's technically a seed) is gluten free as well. There is also millet, and probably others I'm not thinking of right now.

    I pretty much am. I was for about five years, but recently I've been incorporating low fat dairy products like fat free plain Greek yogurt and whey protein (because I'm a vegetarian, and it's convenient to have that easy boost of complete protein on days I don't feel like eating much).

    I am gluten free, mostly dairy free (though i have a very hard time with it) and cut out sugars from time to time but generally limit them. I would LOVE TO BEFRIEND anyone else who eats this way, swap recipes, restaurants, etc!
