I just spent five weeks in France. I ate croissants, beef, ice cream, eggs, pork, Chinese food, butter-based sauces, cakes, pastries, cheese, salads, chocolate, and washed it all down with gallons of wine, caffeine-filled drinks, and hard alcohol. I DID NOT EVER GET SICK. I did not even get gas. I was only bloated the one evening when I really ate and drank too much.
When I described my French diet to the G.E., he said, "You didn't get sick because you weren't under any stress in France." It sounds like a good theory, except that even here at home I have the least stressful life of anyone I know. In addition, I have gotten extremely sick on several occasions while on vacation in the U.S. I snarled at him and muttered under my breath that he should just admit that he had no idea what was wrong with me.
Nicky, I have also noticed that things taste different here. It is so hard for me to believe that food additives/content are not to blame for all this.
I wish I were a university. I'd commission a study.
