Thanks, Ron! I saved the PDF to my computer.

Rick, that's interesting about constipation. My dad had PD and was constipated all his life. I'm super regular, due to a serendipitous combo of misoprostal and artane. One can cause diarrhea and the other constipation, so now I'm perfect!

I forgot to mention that I read alot about COX-2 and LOX-5 a few years ago when Vioxx got the boot. I learned they're working towards a drug combo that would both lower COX-2 and LOX-5. I thought I'd have to wait for the drug, but it's great to know that some foods I ingest can lower the LOX-5. And they're foods that I love!

I should add the link to the thread that got me reading about this (thanks, Carolyn):
