Dear Anne, Thank you for enlightening me :) Maybe you know something about other foods that people mistakenly consider useful? Please do sure your knowledge with us! Thank you!

Oh please, what is there not to know about food in this food obsessed society? Can't you people write a decent article? To assume that people 'know' nothing is pretentious.

Only problem here for me is al the insecticides they put on apples and most fruit. It all gives me a stomach ache. But I've learned a lot about healthy foods through the " Eat Right 4 Your Type" book. It says that since my blood type is O, beef is good for me. But Beef is not good for everyone. It says that blood type A has problems digesting it because they are mostly supposed to eat fish. So, if you're an A, maybe avoid red meat?

nyc information dear... =)

Thanks for the info about plums and varicose veins. I had read the same advice in the June 22, '09 issue of Woman's World and am currently researching it. I think I'll buy some plums today and give it a try.

I adore the photos you used in this post - captures the necessary nutrients found in these fruits and veggies! I love watermelon, broccoli, plums, corn, apples, cinnamon, and oregano. beef? eh. here and there but boy oh boy I have to start appreciating avocado.
