Nilo: If you can't find the two references then perhaps the book has been amended since I first began railing against it 2 1/2 years ago. If so, all the better. This subject came up in the "Ask Dr. Lieberman" forum a short while ago. I offered a similar and equally strong comment the accuracy of which (at least with regard to the 3 gms of protein/day) was verified in that forum by Kathrynne who was using the third edition. I threw my copy away shortly after I discovered that those two representations (which I am confident were there in whatever edition I was using) were incorrect and dangerous and I surely will not purchase another to attempt to prove my point. I'm certain that others probably own the book. Perhaps they would care to offer pagination for the references or perhaps if Kathrynne has the time, she can weigh in. Any or all of that failing, believe what you will. Paul H.
