Hello List:

I checked the archives & didn't quite find a complete answer on what sources
of foods can be used to create edible-grade glycerin found in foods (a
sweetener).  I understand glycerin can be vegetable based or from coconut
oils.  What other sources are used?

I'm inquiring since my child's vitamin drops contain glycerin.  When I called
Morton Pharmaceuticals, IL, the technologist stated that sometimes glycerin
can cause adverse reactions to some people, but that it doesn't come from
wheat, etc.  He sounded a bit uncertain.

Thanks for any input.
