Dear Ned, You have cleared up something for me. My husband has PD and has lost thirty pounds since the onset about ten years ago. He craves carbohydrates in all forms: candy , cakes, cookies, pasta, pastries , etc. to the point that I used to tease him about his sweet tooth. Meanwhile I was gaining on the same diet although I didn't indulge to hiis extent. Since reading your letter I realize it is a part of the syndome and I will never say another word to him about it. Vive les bonbons! Thanks, Suzy
