Next time you are in a crowded public place; look to the person on your left and look to the person on your right. One of you, statistically, will die of cancer. Another one of you will die of a heart attack… unless things change! I can already hear cries of, "It won't be me!" And I hope so. A third of people in Europe, North and South America are dying from cancer, and half are dying from heart attack, and it's spreading rapidly around the world.

My blood pressure though, was high, and although I didn't realise it, my body was crying out for the right food, and in smaller quantities.
