@Circular
Thank you. I will print a copy to take with me.

Hi Circular, Thanks for the interesting information about estriol. It is 33 years since my ovaries disappeared from chemotherapy. Except for the short term memory loss that happened right after chemo, I didn't get any of the other menopause symptoms like hot flashes etc. The only time I had those sy...

What does "calorie restriction" mean for a person of normal weight? Does it mean eating to loose weight to have an even lower BMI or something else?

@Gilgamesh I think it looks very good to me. I think the message comes across well in language people will understand. I think the words "homozygotes" and "heterozygotes" could have something like (one copy of e4) or (2 copies of e4) next to the first occurrence so that people do...

@Michael your change in triglycerides and HDL was impressive. I saw that you read "Grain Brain". Are you going wheat free? It was so beneficial for me.

@Julie I don't remember having my cholesterol taken when I was 50. If it was taken in earlier years I don't believe I was told the numbers. Eliminating wheat is the most effective thing for me diet wise. When I eat wheat all I want is more wheat. I am sure I was a wheat addict. I have read that olde...
