Adrienne,
I really like what you have to say. I'm sure I could learn from you! You seem to be both wise and patient. Unfortunately, I see somebody like Escapee and I fear people will listen to less than optimal nutritional advice. She attempts to come off as an expert, but as you can tell, I view her in very much a different light.
Escapee -- I am happy to let the previous threads speak for themselves. So no need to comment there.
As for your fruit comments, that is just another area where your advice is dangerous and goes way against the grain. Are you really asking me to post studies showing the benefits of fruit? Well, just to be agreeable, here are a few recent ones:
Eur J Cancer. 2005 Sep;41(13):1931-40.
J Hum Hypertens. 2007 Apr 19; [Epub ahead of print]
Ann N Y Acad Sci. 2007 Apr;1100:470-85.
Those are just a few, but all you have to do is go to pub med and you will find endless studies. While I suggest eating more fruits and vegetables, you suggest limiting fruits and certain raw vegetables like broccoli. Well, I guess that should speak for itself.
