Re: Does this mean "no more fruit?"

Thank you Jackie and Elaine,
I have been eating fresh sweet cherries daily because I have gout. Along with those I would also eat maybe a bananna, blueberries, and a pear or apple. I have also been drinking some grape juice. I think I have been eating too much of the sweet fruits. The article really gave me pause.

Jackie, I think the "sweet potato a day" recommendation is excellent suggestion. I have heard that a sweet potato is the most "perfect" food because it contains so many vitamins and nutrients.

I looked back on the posts and found one where Rich had posted several research articles that seemed to suggest that a low carb (Dr. Atkins almost) diet could help to starve cancer cells. I think there is research going on now according to his posts.

Thank you again for your input. I agree with you, Elaine, that a colorful diet should be the most healthy.

Thank you again,
Sandra
