DR PALEVSKY’S COMMENTS: This is good news, although it's not new news, and I don't agree with her statement about honey, at least if we're using raw honey in our diet. The more we keep seeing these reports, the more we can wake more people ...up. We somehow find a way to rationalize how and why it's ok to feed ourselves these types of items, then fail to wonder why, as a nation, we are obese, have such significant numbers of people with heart disease, cancer, and chronic inflammatory conditions. While eating these items may not be causing these diseases, they certainly contribute to the continued cycle of chronic health issues. How a culture can be so disconnected from recognizing the relationship that food has on the health of the body is beyond me. Ask a gastroenterologist, pulmonologist, dermatologist, and ear-nose-throat physician if any of the diseases they see can be attributed to the foods and food items we eat, and almost all of them will say, inflammatory bowel disease, asthma, eczema, and sinusitis/ear fluid are not related to the foods we eat. A neurologist recently told a mother in my practice that food allergies do not affect a child's behavior.........and the type of fluid you put in your gas tank has nothing to do with how well your car will run, just as long as the gas gauge says full......
