But, my sister diagnosed recently and is calling me for advice. She is well
educated, and has a background in both chemistry, and biology. But, this is
kind of confusing for everyone at the beginning, and I want to give her the
best advice I can.

Thanks, Randy


Honestly, the best answer is for her to go to a nutritionist who can provide
her with a tailored diet that has no need for confusing labels. Your answers
will not be her answers and could be dangerous.
The first thing to eradicate from the diet is canned and processed food with
artificial colorings, flavorings and sweeteners close behind. Once the blood
chemistry has settled down and salt intake is balanced according to need, not
compulsion, the diet can be tailored to establish optimal weight. All through
that process the sensitivity to certain foods will vary with the changing
metabolism and only become truisms when the body is fully stabilized at
optimum for that particular person.
