Well, damn. It would seem that the preponderance of old folk in the
Devonshire pubs is actually due to cider. :)

I'm one of the allergic folks. It's pretty unpleasant. Interestingly enough,
I get the same reaction from uncooked sunflower kernels -- but not from the
roasted version.
Not eating nuts and being pseudo-vegetarian makes a paleolithic diet kinda
hard for me, especially when you start throwing CR into the mix. Still, it's
an adventure.

That, I can sympathise with. My anecdotal evidence is that mixing anything
that involves starch and processed sugar into the mix just makes you want
eat more. And makes you more prone to depression, mood swings, etc.
I'd be happy to share my CR/dietary experiences with the list if there's
interest in that sort of thing here. I consider my efforts pretty successful
to day (BMI down to 22.2 from 26.5 over the last 4 months, and aiming at
19.5 or so).
