every session I had no fewer than sixteen girls with __llergies_ to dairy and wheat__heese and bread basically__ut also to garlic, eggplant, corn, and nuts. They had cleverly developed __llergies,_ I believe, to the foods they had seen their own mothers fearing and loathing as diet fads passed through their homes.

Dietary patterns are set at a very early age__omewhere between four and eight years old. The research shows that children who have established a healthy diet are healthier in the longer range and less likely to develop cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and obesity.
