  Todd,  the questions and comments you have posted on this list are insightful,
relevant and reflect a HUGE amount of reading and synthesis that many of us
cannot accomplish on our own.  The context that you speak from is indeed one of
exploration and that is why I find this list so interesting.  Without this kind
of discussion,  I am afraid the list would tend more toward trading  recipes and
posts of "what I ate today."  Those aspect are also certainly an important part
of the list but so is the nutritional and anthropological science.  I am amazed
at the level of expertise many of the posters bring to this list.  There is a
nice mix of exchanges on this list from Mary's frequent questions, Amadeus'
queries, to Ray's "from the source" comments.  I hope you continue your
questions.  Rick
