Dr Kasorda has gone into great depth in the past regarding why in his opinion
distillation removes the harmful protein from the finished product. He was
quick to say if you get sick, don't use the stuff. But for most of us the
knowledge that there should not be  gluten in vinegar is very helpful. Many
of us have very touchy guts that react to all sorts of things beside gluten.
To label something as having gluten without evidence is wrong. For all of us
to assume that because something is GF; it will not harm us is just as wrong.

the last few years that Dr Kasordas information is based on scientific
believe, but that I have to measure for myself, what ails me. Bory
