    Marianne,

    I was vegetarian fo4 more then 12 years and all of my friends were suprised that I got breast cancer because I was so healthy.  However, I had been on and off of birth control pills since I was 14 (before I had a say in the matter) because I had abnormally heavy, lengthy periods and instead of finding out why I had problems, dr's gave me hormones.  Turns out, I have thyroid problems, adrenal exhaustion, absorption issues, iodine issues and many other problems too.  And stress, I was off of the charts I was so stressed out--before my diagnosis I was sure I was having a nervous breakdown!

    Here's another point to consider re. fruits & veggies (just updated for 2010):

    Some non-organic F&V can be extremely toxic, and even washing them will not remove the pesticides which are either under the wax (like w/apples) or throughout the fruit (like strawberries).   Deanna
