Not sure where I got this info..... been in my head for a few too many years to recall source.

This is correct Ms A, and it's consistent with what I've heard. So, in those times, this WOE was the epitome of SAD on steroids, as you can be sure that considering the expense of sugar, they were eating rich, fatty meats and many delicious breads and desserts only they could afford. This combination, as I mentioned earlier, created the conditions for gout. Meat (protein), however, became the villain. |
