Thanks, Barbara--very interesting stuff. I have been really trying to stick to cooking everything from scratch, as well as buying organic. All fairly difficult for me as I am really not a cook! I just try to keep it really simple.
One thing on the food additives website that sort of worried me: the author talks a lot about salicylates and their effect. When I read the symptoms of salicylate sensitivity, it sure sounded like what I experience. But then I realized that salicylates are contained in varying amounts in anything that is plant based! I don't fully understand how it would be possible to avoid them. Have you heard anything about this issue?
I may try to get hold of the book to read up, but I just hate to think of eliminating even MORE foods from diet. Eek!
