"Read everything that Dr. Mary Enig has written. She actually studies this."

There are a great many people who are studying this field. Many are doctors. Doctor McDougal is one who would be good to read as well. Also, it has to be said that doctors as a general rule are not acquainted with nutrition as much as dispensing medications and surgery. As to the individual body needing specific requirements, this makes some sort of sense until you realize that bodies have been conditioned psychologically to eat certain foods which are not necessary or beneficial. There is little objectivity here, as Mary says, but also a lot of misinformation propagated by the meat packing industry, the dairy industry, the poultry industry and other ancillary groups such as the medical people who rely on these industries to fatten their wallets. Drug companies are also culpable in this regard.
