Most changes in my diet have come from necessity... things I couldn't
eat for one reason or another, whether apples or coffee, or the many
things that didn't sit properly when my digestive system was less
controlled...  For me, getting the GERD under control went a long way to
getting the diet more normalized...  ;)  Of course, there was also the
shift from "normal" american diet to a wider choice of ethnic cuisines....

There is that...

 NB>> Age may be catching up to you...  ;)

I suppose.  ;)

Some would argue that those weren't cleansing... they do, though, sound
tasty, along with the sausages, actually...  :)

Kill two birds with one stone, as it were...  ;)

Weren't we just talking about pretension...?  (G)  I'm sure it would do
no good to point out to him that with something like leukemia, it would
have been probably found out, just from some basic regular testing, and
a little paying attention to symptoms... or that sometimes, hyperconcern
ends up with one being pooh-poohed by the docs, instead of being
listened to...
