    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?

    Dianne - thanks for the great info! Some of it was new to me and some just confirmed things I had heard, so I appreciate it. Maybe you can follow up with an article about some foods that improve attitude and decrease negativity - perhaps there will be something to be learned for those who already know everything.

    Dear Angie, I don't know about you, but I found plenty of new fun facts about food in this post! For instance, I had no idea that plums could make varicose veins less noticible, or that watermelon is a natural energizer... Thank you for the great post, Dianna!

    I think that it's good to learn something new every day. Assuming that people already "know" about everything is a dangerous assumption to me. Where would the world be if we "assumed" that people knew everything about everything??? I do hope that someone out here enjoys the information and finds something that they didn't already know :)

    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.
