A amazing example of a food additive detective

Post by Marsha »

OMG, I love the internet. . . .

You guys HAVE to look at this link. I've been researching sulphur dioxide and sulfite sensitivity. Anybody who has a problem with corn syrup, wine and beer, shredded coconut, or fruit juices HAS to read up on it. There's a chance some of your intolerences are not just gluten. ESPECIALLY if you get unexplained headaches, like I've had recently.

This person is who wrote this website used himself as a human guinea pig - it's kind of
inspiring.

All my best! Marsha
I hope you're having a better day, Christine.

Thanks Marsha,

I really appreciate this website! I have thought for a while now that I have a sensitivity to sulfites. :sad:

I get lots of headaches too.

Great detective work and fascinating info!!! Will you please post this link in the "Links to Good Information" room so we don't lose it? It's the last room listed under the different forums.

Thanks.

Love,

Thanks Polly, I thought about you so much. Aren't you pretty sensitive to corn syrup? I posted links for Mike to read in a later thread where I announced my excessive happiness. You have got to read all that stuff. Not only is it fascinating, I really think it might apply to some of us. Love, Marsha :bashful:

Great article. Ever since Hawaiian punch was introduced I have gotten a headache from it... I avoid it like the plague.. makes me wonder if maybe there are sulfites in it!

I have always suffered from sulfites and avoid them at all cost. Lately I have taken to grape and apple juice and have had regular headaches. Thanks for the link - it explains a lot.
