Hi Gabe

Can't argue with that - individual allergies are always a
problem for any food item. You've done it correctly, by
elimination with medical supervision. Similarly, my wife
cannot eat tomato skin, but that doesn't make it wrong or
dangerous for the great majority of those considering
whether tomatoes should be part of their diet.

My comment was concerning "the nonsense written about
aspartame" attributing most of the world's ills to this
substance; most of the nonsense originates from the
followers of a particular fanatical source. Gradually, the
lie becomes part of general belief.


Cheers Alan, T2, Australia.
