Thanks for the info, Robin. I hadn't heard that. Is it the same for FOS (fructoligosaccharids sp?)?


(Klebsiella reminds me of some good vegan Kielbasa--by Tofurky--that I had a few weeks ago!;-) )

ROFLMAO...ewww....I don't think I would touch that one with a ten foot pole.

I still use Inulin in my Stevia too:) Even from what I read (Natural Medicines Comprehensives Database...which is ultra-conservative mainstream;)), I believe if you are healthy and take probiotics with it ...it is fairly safe in the majority of people. It does have that added benefit of helping constipation in larger doses (not that any vegetarians have that problem) and in hypertriglyceridemia. It could cause a lot of flatulance/bloating in a few people (with high doses) and trigger anaphylaxis in others so it does have its drawbacks. Like anything else its not for everyone...LOL:)

I'm going to see if I can pick up some tofurky kielbasa (without the klebsiella, of course;)) this weekend....I've never tried that kind.

ETA: We can just extend your birthday...but its okay if you don't add a year on for each day each day we extend it...:+
