Re: Fats Improve Nutrient Absorbtion

Hey Beth --

I know it! It really is hard. I am a recovering people-pleaser and praise addict. (That's a joke!) People run around saying, "To thine own self be true!" But who ever really knows their "own self"? I'll tell you one thing, you find out when you do stuff like this that is against the mainstream and that others don't like. Alot of that for me around cleansing, oil pulling, feeding my children. My kids and my health -- two areas where it's absolutely not important to me what my mom or Tom's mom or the doctor, etc. say.

But I think there is a lot of stress and that it is very tiring on a deep level to contradict the established authority figures in one's life. Especially when they are loving ones who have your best interests, according to their beliefs, in their hearts. Because that's what it is -- your beliefs against their beliefs, when before, for me, I had always found a way to agree with at least a part of someone's beliefs!

I have had to learn the hard way to keep my mouth shut.

And am SO grateful to be able to come here and share with and listen to you all.
