Thanks a lot, Authfriend. Isn't Celiac disease an Auto-immune dis-order.?? I'm glad the concerns about Sucralose are anecdotal and not on experiment. Funny, it was discovered way back in the 1970's authfriend [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Date: Sat, 05 May 2007 18:03:13 - Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Hey, ,Dr. PETE and ALEX http://en.wikipedia .org/wiki/ Oligosaccharide These aren't artificial; they're substances found in plants.

No known safety concerns, but it can aggravate celiac disease if it's made from starch from wheat or barley. It's used primarily as a thickening agent, not a sweetener, although it's mildly sweet. Almost certainly he wouldn't approve of sucralose, nor is it Vedic, since it was developed only recently. Ayurveda generally prefers fresh, unprocessed food, so maltodextrin would probably not be on the approved list. - Don't be flakey. Get Yahoo! Mail for Mobile and always stay connected to friends.

The small intestine apparently lacks an enzyme to deal with gluten, and this causes the immune system to attack the lining of the small intestine (don't ask me how!). I'm glad the concerns about Sucralose are anecdotal and not on experiment. Yes, but one of the concerns is that there haven't been any experiments on long-term use because it hasn't been available to consumers until quite recently, so nobody has been using it on a long-term basis. I'd guess stevia is probably the safest non-sugar sweetener. It hasn't been tested long-term either, but it's been used for a very long time, so you'd think any problems would have become obvious by now. And stevia is completely natural.
