Hello Wally,

I'd like to that follow up. Could you possibly give me a link to the list
debate you mentioned? Is it a public list?

It would also be interesting to discover if reactions to certain
substances in milk produce similar symptoms in people who are allergic or
intolerant to them.

I'd be grateful for any links or references you think might be useful.

Cheers,

Persephone
