You'll notice that I never said it was *distilled* alcohol. WE don't KNOW what
kind of alcohol this was! I also never said I "believe that alcohol does indeed
contain gluten". I did, however, state *what I was told*. And, IF what I was
told IS true, then it is probably not the only case of such a thing. This is
something you should be *aware* of. I'm a born skeptic... which is why I check
*everything* out as much as possible!
If you need more information on the alcohols involved, you may want to call the
company yourself. Unfortunately, I couldn't find where I put the doc. on this,
but will be happy to post the number as soon as I find it. I Meanwhile, I
*will* make a definitive claim that I was told they tested and found 3% wheat
protien in the alcohol used in the flavoring! That I heard such a thing is a
fact. You may choose to refute the data ... but that you'll have to take up
with them, not me.
