What I've come to realize is that we are the lucky ones who know enough to go seek out the information and then follow it. My neighbors are very nice people and intelligent but without much education (they are both in the upper 80's and grew up very poor). They don't have a computer and believe in the standard of care advice. My friend, the wife, knows I eat "funny" and sometimes asks me what it is I eat but I wouldn't start telling her to eat other than the doctor advises. I would probably just confuse her and her husband is definitely too stubborn to change anything.
