dueling docs
Dr. Andrew Weil and Dr. Joel Fuhrman are two docs I admire. Their ideas on food have resonated with me, and I have followed many of their recommendations over the years. I just came upon an apparent conflict, though. Dr. Fuhrman says to watch your Vitamin A/betacarotone and his supplements don't come with Vitamin A or betacarotene. He explains there could be concern many things, including with tumor growth...However the vitamins I have of Dr. Weil's, which I bought a few weeks ago at Whole Foods in Westport, have the Vit A/betacarotene. I think I will err on the side of caution and go with Dr. Fuhrman on this one. I will probably continue to take Dr. Weil's Vitamins, but maybe like once a week, so I don't get too much of the A/betacarotene. Meanwhile, I will order the Dr. Fuhrman vitamins.
