has become a serious problem. Well worth the effort to get it out of your system. Then get rid of all processed foods. Have no high fructose corn syrup. Grass fed meats if you eat meat. And grass fed dairy. This should be tried even though it's a big set of changes. Many many people are not able to tolerate the SAD ( standard American diet) anymore. God knows it's probably killing us all slowly.
