even weirder, splenda bothers me not at all, and i can eat all the fresh
strawberries i want, but the frozen make me have symptoms not unlike
anaphalatic, sp shock, my throat, mouth and tounge swell to the point of
impairing breathing... the nutrea crap gives me similar but not as sevre
swelling but a 12 oz can of diet soda will send me to th er for a migraine
shot... it is my weird allergies that make me so accepting of others dietary
habits, if i am allergic to things so natural as fresh pineapple, frozen
strawberries, it is very easy to beleive that while for me animal protien is
a must for weight control and general feeling well, that others can and do
have very bad negative reactions to same.

Fresh pineapple just kills me! It isn't an allergy but it gives me blisters
in my mouth. Same for oranges unless they are processed in something. As
for frozen things, I don't much like them. I can have something if it is
super hot outside. But as a general rule, yuck.
