Thanks Amanda, I'll track that one down too, as I have decided to do a research project based on the pharmaceutical companies' stronghold on the medical establishment though, I'm still looking forward to reading Trick and Treat.

I'm not a huge beer drinker anyway, but I love to have a couple on a really hot afternoon (it was 40 degress C here yesterday!!). It's my glass of red with dinner that I find the hardest to give up

I use a website called calorieking.com.au to record my food, not that I'm interested in counting calories so much, but it has an excellent facility where it records grams of macronutrients in foods and gives your daily total as a percentage, very handy. Plus being Australian it has all of our foods listed on it.
Thanks for taking the time to reply to my post, I appreciate the advice and look forward to seeing how this WOE works for me
