I think that you are correct. I have been on Dr. Fuhrman's Eat to Live diet a few times: start by eating no processed food and drastically reduce sugar intake unless it is berries or a little fruit. After about a week, the level of candida in your system is reduced to levels closer to what humans had > 50 years ago. At this point, all sorts of food cravings (especially deserts) go away, and homemade meals from natural ingredients taste very good. The first time I went on this diet, I felt 10 or 15 years younger with lots of energy.
