Anonymous  +  168415 Sat, 10 Dec 05 03:03 PM Hi people! It's me, Antonia. I'm translating another cookbook. Can you please help me? What does exactly mean ''high levels of...''? Thank you p.s.  I'm very happy that I can say that South Beach is going to be published in my country this month.  Anonymous

High levels of: out of context, it means a high percentage of.  There are high levels of dioxin in my granola means that there is a high percentage of it there. Congratulations on your appearance in print!  Does South Beach appropriately credit me?  It's 'Mister Micawber, Senior Guru, English Forums.com'.

Antonia, if you really can't register, maybe you should start putting your name in the subject line of all your posts, like this: (Antonia) high levels of fruits and vegetables.  khoff Joined on Sun, Mar 6 2005 Senior Member 3,216 Native speaker of American English (but not a grammar expert)

What would a "low level" of fruit and vegetables be? "Large quantities", perhaps. MrP MrPedantic Joined on Tue, Oct 12 2004 Veteran Member 13,616 ...opella forensis / adducit febris...
