Amino Acid Safety: Chapter 17, p.253 L-tryptophan and 5-hydroxytryptophan (5HTP) do not typically trigger migraine in those who are headache-prone. This was a misprint. It should have read L- tyrosine and L-phenylalanine may cause headache or migraine in the headache- prone.

EmergenC Lite is recommended where your program calls for EmergenC, because the regular EmergenC is sweetened.

What Are the Safe and Healthy Fats?
New Information: Except for extra virgin olive oil, most vegetable oils are rancid (oxidized) by the time we open their bottles. This means (sorry!) that we should avoid such oils as canola, soy, corn, peanut, cottonseed, safflower and sesame oils whenever we can. They are now unquestionably linked with our most serious and increasing health problems: cancer, heart disease, and diabetes among them.

Instead, use extra virgin olive oil, non-hydrogenated coconut oil, or organic butter (or ghee, clarified butter). These healthier fats are more expensive and less convenient, but do your best.

Coconut milk is a particularly health-promoting (as well as delicious) fatty food. It also stabilizes blood sugar, raises metabolism rate and helps reduce excess weight loss! Enjoy 1/3 of a can (1/2 cup) a day in your smoothie or soup, or on your cereal or fruit, or in your tea.

Is Soy A Healthy Food? In Hormonal Help (Chapter 14), I listed some of my concerns about soy. Since The Diet Cure was published, more scientific data has appeared linking soy products, particularly the non-fermented isolated soy protein products (powders, hot dogs and burgers, etc.) and soy milk with many serious health problems in addition to hormonal disruption.

Recently, because of scientific evidence presented, soy products were not able to get GRAS status (Generally Recognized As Safe) from the FDA and had to be withdrawn from consideration.
