Sorry, I don't know anything about that, or for that fact, anything about, med issues. I do know that , whenever I am in SE Asia for a few months, my body changes. I feel much better, and I retain muscle mass, but I loose fat, and I look, and feel much better. Must be the quality food there. JMO
Mitch, I totally agree. I am basically a closet vegetarian! I will eat meat if served but other than Elk and deer just not a red meat fan. When I was in Asia I loved the food! When in England (where food goes to die) I eat Indian. Que Karl! Hah!
