Questions on Food Combining Chart

[kenakao7]

I just joined as a registered user, and I find the web site educational. While reading the Food Combining Chart, I am confused about several items, as follows:

- When not "combining" food groups, such as sweet fruits and acid fruits, does that mean avoid eating a banana and an orange "mixed together", avoid eating them 5, 10, 15 or 20(?) minutes apart? Could you please clarify.

- Also in the Food Combining Chart, it shows protein circle touching starchy vegetable circle, indicating you can eat meats with potatoes. Yet, on subsection 1 (Protein and carbohydrate concentrated foods) in page 4 of 11, the first paragraph appears to contradict the protein circle touching the starchy circle touching each other. Could someone clarify these conflicts?

Thank you for your time and consideration.

I have a feeling it's nothing like, you know, splenda or the pink stuff... supposedly it's good for blood sugar levels, but I wish I could find more true literature on it.... I will say, it's 9 cal's per packet (tsp?) vs. sugar's 16 cal's per. And oh my, is it tasty.
