I'm not saying that diet and lifestyle don't play a part in one's health, but blaming them entirely for degenerative diseases... actually, frankly, makes me angry.

I'm with you. I don't buy into, nor would I even want, the live forever, reverse aging through food. But I would sincerely love to avoid synthetic hormones.

IIRC, there are foods you should avoid if you're hypothyroid, like cabbage.

Now see? I didn't know that.

I don't currently have health insurance so the tests that might make all this clear are unavailable to me at the mo.

So, I'm looking for a place to start.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

diabetes - partially genetic. yes life style plays a role, but there are thin fit people that get it. and overweight, unfit people that don't get it . and people that go through truma ( physical or emotional) where it suddenly shows up.

While I believe that a healthy diet helps most diseases, and being fitter helps you fight off any illness or physical trauma, perfect diet and perfect fitness do not promise perfect health.

I also don't believe that there is one perfect diet. some people need a bit more of this or that

But, they could use Florida Tomatoes - they've been judged to be safe. Or California tomatoes. They are also safe.

Plei, do you remember what it was about cabbage that made it a bad choice for those who were hypothyroid?

I do like being a blue-eyed brunette so I can't complain too much.

It's very striking!

I know. But considering my company, it's probably a smart move for them not to use raw tomatos at all until the hysteria dies down.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Have they figured out the cause/origin of the tomato salmonella?

I don't get the whole abandon the tomato thing. We had fresh tomatoes the other night (and they weren't the cute cherry or grape ones, but they were still on the vine and I think, Californian).

I also didn't abandon spinach during the e.coli thing.

On the vine are supposed to be safe, cooked tomatoes safe. I don't know - can washing clean off salmonella?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

It is!

I kinda feel like I won the lottery with my eyes and cheekbones, so I can't complain too much about the rest of it (like my teeth - thanks, Mom).

Actually breast size is supposedly passed down mostly via your dad's mom than your own.

I did not know that. Huh!

Genetics are fun! It's like a biology version of the "How do YOU do it??" game.
