I take a very high quality flax seed product. Keeps my colon clean every day. I take a calcium supplement,flax seed oil supplement and others. I go to a chiropractor on a regular basis and have a very good acupuncturist, so I haven't been sick with colds or flu in years.

Great tool! However, the recommended number of servings of grains is too high according to the USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005. They recommend about 6 ounces a day (7 to 8 servings), with at least half of those servings from whole grains. The new food pyramid has few grains and more fruits and vegetables. See www.healthierus.gov/dietaryguidelines for more information.
