This was amazing. I'd love to hear more about more foods! This article was made better by the fact that it was common food that I eat a lot. I hate when it is always random stuff that nobody eats weekly, let alone daily, LoL.

Alera, as you have a stomach ache eating apple and not mentioned other fruits which are also treated with pesticides you may simply allergic to apple which is very rare. i do suffer from it.

Thanks for this informative post Diana...........I learned a few new things about the foods I like.........One can never have too much knowledge........it's always good to learn and to be open to new ideas!!!

Thanks Dianna, I really learned a lot from this article. And it really helped me with my diet, thanks. And thank you again because you shared to me that cinnamon reduces blood sugar levels and it will really help my grandmother a lot... so..Lots of thanks again!!

Love this article! Love discovering new secrets about food I love. -Angelina.

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?

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 don;t usually comment...but that really was an interesting article.
