That's why they're called Beta versions - they have bugs. I run Firefox on Mac and Windows as my everyday browser, and there are no issues. That’s the problem with Betas, Hectonon.

There's a lot of good data here, however I want tell you something - I am running Fedora with the circulating beta of Firefox, and the layout of your web site is sort of quirky for me. I could read the article, but the navigation does not work so great. Excellent article.

Her first sentence says that it is impossible to have too much fruit in your diet. Her last sentence reiterates do not avoid or limit fruit. And I agree totally with her from all the research I've read. Most raw food programs attempt to copy cooked food recipes by simply replacing the meat with nuts. One person actually did an analysis of the diets promoted by a number of the top raw food "gurus" and found that they were all over 60% fat. This is extremely unhealthy. And there is substantial scientific evidence now that it is the FAT, not the fruit, that prevents the sugar in fruit from getting into the cells where it is vitally needed, and instead keeps it in the blood, creating a condition called diabetes. Most raw food cookbooks could actually be re-named "How to Prepare Nuts and Avocados," since every recipe uses large quantities of these high fat foods. And the answer, by the way, is not a SAD low fat diet of refined sugar and flour and high fructose corn syrup. The way to treat high blood sugar is a balanced raw food diet, heavy in greens and fruits, and very low in fat. Try it. You'll see. Karl, Annie does not have a contradiction.

First of all you should only eat fruit alone.,excess fat is the culprit. When fat levels in the blood rise, so does blood sugar, because excess fat inhibits insulin from performing its function of escorting sugar out of the bloodstream. The excess fat lines the blood vessel walls insulin receptor sites, the sugar molecules themselves, and the insulin with a thin coating of fat, thus blocking normal metabolic activity. If fat levels stay chronically high due to a poor diet, sugar will remain in the bloodstream. When fat levels drop, the sugar starts to get processed and distributed again. You need to avoid high fats like nut, seeds and avacados, not FRUIT. JIM, please, you cannot have too much fruit in your diet. First of all you should only eat fruit alone.,excess fat is the culprit.
