Dr. Eades,
I have been doing Atkins (high fat, moderate protein, low carb) for a year now and my CRP levels keep incresing. They started at 7 when I was eating high carb low fat, went to 9 after 6 months into atkins and are now a whopping 13.3. Should I stop with all the red meat and fat?

Dr. Mary Dan…
Just loved these pictures. Never travelled in China, and this dim sum looks nothing like the dumplin-y/fried dough-ball/rice-and-broccoli experience I’ve had in the US.
Loved the Abbey Road pic too – photoshop yourself in with the lads…
Have a great trip home!

COMMENT from MD EADES: You’re right; it’s nothing like the Americanized version. There is a little restaurant in Santa Fe, by the same name as I titled this piece–Dim Sum and Then Some–and it had great, traditional dim sum. Wish I could photoshop the lads in, but, alas, because Mike wasn’t able to stand in the middle of the street to take the pic (it’s very very very busy and the drivers absolutely loathe having to stop for Beatles’ fans in that crosswalk) the perspective is wrong. If we ever get back, there is a monument at the nearby intersection that he could get out onto to take a more correct perspective, but that’s a job for another day.

Sounds Amazing. I love Chinese cuisine so much. Most people do overestimte their consumption of rice. While it is important and served at every meal almost, it is not the main part of their diet like many westerners think. Most of Asia is like that.

Looks like the last thing might have been a Mochi of some kind. I think of them as Japanese but last time a bought a box for our Japanese exchange student, he pointed out they’d been made in China.
