Agreed. That's precisely why I found it interesting. I try to learn why each presenter emphasizes different approches in order to learn what might be best for me.

From Dr. McDougall's site, Newsletter on MWLP, January 2005 : "Minimize Fruits: Keep fruits to one or two a day. Fruit is largely simple sugar and people can easily eat 10 to 20 servings a day without a guilty thought – after all, fruit is healthy. In truth, fruits should be thought of as healthy desserts, made largely of sugar and water (but with lots of wholesome nutrients)." http://www.drmcdougall.com/misc/2005nl/050100pupushing.htm referenced by http://www.drmcdougall.com/med_hot_obesity.html
