don't think that you provoked anyone. most on this forum have very open minds, and certianly none of these subjects is new here. in fact, if you go back, diet has been discussed many many times, perhaps as much as any other subject here, and from all angles. what you will find, however, is that posts with objective evidence tend to garner more interest... there is a reason for that. the same reason that a good experiment should be repeatable. it seperates personal opinion from fact.
