Perspective is essential.
Here's an example. Andrew Weil, MD wrote an article which appeared in Natural Health Journal , in which he warned against eating legume sprouts, including alfalfa sprouts. I have significant respect and appreciation for Dr. Weil. He is one of a minority of physicians and authors involved for many years in the area of natural healing. Although his point is worth considering, because he's saying that people need to be aware of all considerations when they select a diet, his conclusions miss the forest for the trees.
