This made it simple to me. I followed the other links on the page and found more good information to help me understand (at least these people's opinion) the importance of 6 to3. I'm still reading and I'm beginning to understand. I'm getting why my husband's health changed and the doctors thought he'd been on statins when he had just eaten and supplemented right. If he can do it, I can too. Thanks to all who keep making me learn!
