I never concern myself with what others say I "should" or "should not" do... I go by how "I" feel. That's what's great about raw and Alissa's way of eating ~ not having to count calories, grams, whatevah!!! I eat real food! That's it!

part of me wants to say "who made Mercola the authority?" but I'll just stick with what Revv said. She said it nicer.

One of my smoothies has more then 15g. And I have about five smoothies a day.

Holy smokes maybe the DR knows more then Mother Nature.

I do like to read Dr Mec articles cause some of them are very informative.
His article about the acid rain wash ash that was being used as fertilizer
made me start eating organic.

From a whole fruits, you can eat as much you want without being worry. It has all the balance ingredient. On the other hand, raw agave is a fructose. I rarely use this and would much prefer using maple sirup even thought it isnt' raw. I tend to you raw honey from my friend that has a farm bees.

I love dr. Mercola but you need to take and live. He recommend that we take animal protein. Such raw organic egg. I say this is none sense and i don't resonate at all with this BUT for most part, i truly love his research and i learn so much from his website. I take and leave.

All the best
