I can't recommend this book enough, about how we eat and what our choices really are.

My endo wanted to put me on Lipitor in November, but my cardio said that I'm a prime candidate to get worsening neuropathy. Just cut out processed food and trans fats, he said. So, I've now had 2 months of eating complex carbs, nuts, and lots of fish, and my cholesterol is down, I've lost 5 pounds, and I'm truly enjoying eating this way.
