Hello,
Interesting stuff.
If the original statement had been:
" It is all over the Autism list that improper digestion of milk products can
contribute to autism. "
then I would have not commented at all.
That's a far cry from "... one of the worst things for our immune system... ",
especially when the immune system was not even mentioned in this study.
