Guest guest Posted October 29, 2002 Report Share Posted October 29, 2002 Wow, thanks for all that - can I assume that it is ok to use for my bread making then, nothing 'nasty' in it?

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2002 Report Share Posted October 29, 2002 Yes it is freely available but it has nothing on the packets to say where it comes from what it contains etc. I just don't want to risk giving my husband anything that is not totally natural, it will undo all the good that I am doing by baking/cooking everything that he eats. I appreciate your efforts whether it is your personal knowledge or from a web site is totally irrelevant, it was good information and I am grateful for your efforts. marianne > I don't know.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2002 Report Share Posted October 29, 2002 I don't know. What makes me mad is that this is a copy and paste from a site I was at. I typed this above the paste and my little paragraph dissapeared! So I wanted you to know that this information isn't from me but from a site I found. Sorry I can't answer your question. But I have found this ingredient being sold in many health food sites for persons with food sensitivites. Liz D.
