... and people want to share what they know. They feel good about what they know. And they want to share it. Maybe I shouldn't be so prickly.
When I comment on my diet I am just sharing. I am not asking for advice.

I don't take medical advice from strangers. If I asked 3 people for advice I'd get 5 opinions. Opinions are everywhere, and hearing another opinion does nothing to indicate to me whether or not it was a sound one. I would still have to do my own research.
I understand that people want to help, and they want to be respected, and they want me to be grateful to them. But it is a social behavior that just doesn't work.

You know what helps me a lot when I'm feeling prickly? Ashwagandha. Seriously, you should try it. It's amazing. And cut out sugar. Seriously, it's so bad for you. Oh, and seed oils.
Seriously.
