Hi Joy, Thanks for sharing that tidbit, I hadn't read that. Obviously if that works for you, by all means go ahead with it. There is room in my ecumen for no s + f. I don't notice any digestive troubles myself and will continue to eat my fruits with meals (in the tenuous fashion I've described in other posts). And I'd still advise no s + f ers to at least budget for the f in their meal allocation, even if the fruit is consumed much later/earlier. Don't want to run into apple induced self discipline problems. Remember all that trouble Adam and Eve got into because of a piece of fruit...
