Clearing up Confusion -- a little!

I've been a bit confused by some of Dr. Esselstyn's directives -- perhaps others have too -- especially about quantities of greens to eat per day and how to prepare them, and also about adding or eliminating certain groups of foods.

Nutritionist Jeff Novick (who has already appeared in these pages in another post, The Genius of Jeff Novick, had some of these same questions, so he asked Dr. Esselstyn for clarification.
