...study's authors, led by Dr. Lisa L. Strate, a gastroenterologist at the University of Washington, note that despite a lack of firm evidence, the conventional dietetic wisdom has prevailed among many physicians. In a recent survey as many of 47% of colorectal surgeons agreed that their patients should avoid nuts and popcorn. But Strate says the notion that these "abrasive foods" exacerbate diverticulosis is simply "an evolved theory" founded on a belief that nuts and seeds can lodge in the diverticula, the pouches or bulges that form in weak parts of the colon wall, and give the disease...

That is the movie's sunny strength and its ultimate limitation - since life is not perhaps simply a series of bed partners from whom we discover that the greatest wisdom is realizing we always have more to learn from others, and about ourselves.
