What to say, Debra. She has a science degree, and a teaching one to boot. She truly didn’t know. As for the chips, and so many other things, common faire for the family.
I tutored the girls, (another story) and they were forever sick. One had full-blown acne, the other on full asthma medication. They are such beautiful girls now, but the one that stands out is the eldest girl whose kidneys were so diseased. The non-functioning one had started to heal.
Not for a moment am I suggesting that diet will cure us all, but for me, it would be where I start.
