    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.

    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.
