I consider it planting seeds. Sometimes people just aren't ready to hear it. Even with all the heart burn my SIL has caused, I think I've influenced them to be more health conscious by example. That is always stronger than preaching. Even I hate it when someone tells me what to do or gets too much on their band wagon with things. I've had to learn to cool it I guess. Still, when you see things and/or just found them out yourself, etc., you want to share! The other day at work I refused a cookie and people took notice.... Not doing it for that. Actions really do speak louder than words, though. (Small matter there, but sugar is a downfall most of us share).

I did read somewhere a while back that candida can lead to cancer.... Scary... And iridologist explained the leaky gut thing to me (or I read it??)... Anyway - I notice when I eat something and feel gunky its not something my body wants. Your small intestines, etc. cause the mucous to surround things that aren't good for you and after eating these things over and over regardless...it builds a lot of mucoid placque over time throughout the intestinal tract. I try to listen to how my body responds to foods.

It has been nice chatting (and blowing off : ) with you today. Welcome to the forum!!
