Oh, I see. I'm not as familiar with containers of fruit as I am with cans. So that's what caused the glitch in my memory. Anyway, what you say about samadosha brings up a question I've had for quite a while: if one pacifies kapha, for example, are vata and pitta automatically increased?

I said I went to the store and bought a container of pineapple slices because I didn't want to cut up a *whole* pineapple. The fresh foods section where the packaged fresh lettuce, spinach, etc. also has small containers of fresh sliced fruit. Much less messy than cutting up a whole pineapple and a small container cheaper too. Also a whole pineapple might have spoiled before I used it up. This was a good way to test. I only ate a slice (cube) or two at a time. I first read heard about returning the body to prakriti a few years back in several articles. Perhaps samadosha was assumed by newbie ayurveda followers. I recall one of the instructors at Dr. Lad's school telling me that samadosha wasn't so wonderful as people with that prakriti still had problems and correcting them often proved difficult.
