Less so now, but we'll see what happens as I pick it up again. . .

I dunno about the exercise thing, but if a wife goes on a diet, the guy does too. Shortly after her MS diagnosis, Cindy bought a book written by a Dr. Swank...a "MS diet book". It pretty much eliminated all fat from the diet. His theory being that fat was destroying the myelin sheath of nerve connections. This theory has been later repudiated by studies.
However...at a local "health fair" they offered free chloresterol testing. After a year on this diet? Cindy's number was 113!
Maybe we should go back on it. Problem is that the old saying is true: There is food that is good for you. Then there is food that tastes good.
