SPECIAL NOTES

(Side note: Do not use fluoridated toothpastes. Use Tom's brand or use baking soda. Tom's is available at most health food stores. However, Tom's has several different types. Make sure it is the one which contains no fluoride.)

HELP WITH FOOD COMBINING
All fruits and vegetables have a starch content. Low starch fruits and vegetables... those with a content of 5% to 10% may be eaten with fish, meat, eggs, and fowl. High starch fruits and vegetables, those that contain 15% to 20%, should never be eaten in combinations with fowl, eggs, fish or meat. Below is an easy reference chart to make your food combining a little simpler.
