• I also agree with the comment about sugar issue with fruits, but it may not apply to Sweet - and I say that from personal experience, not from some theory or books. Some of us may have more sugar issues than the general population. So, Sweet, if you…

• You got to listen to your own body. There is no one formula for everybody. For some lots of fruits is perfectly fine, and it is really convenient. However, there is another group which cannot handle a large amount of fruits - somebody like me - and …

• Just as an aside, I read somewhere that most of North American soya and corn are genetically modified. So, if this bothers you, you might like to look for the organic variety.

• Check this out: http://www.iherb.com/Country-Life-Dry-Vitamin-D-1000-IU-100-Tablets/1675?at=0 but what you probably need is vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), preferably in liquid form. I don't think there is a vegan source of D3 - it comes either from f…

• I started taking it a few weeks ago to cure the remnants of mild eczema - itchy shin. Haven't noticed any benefit from it so far. But then I am trying so many things at the same time I might not know what fixed it, even if I am able to cure it.
