<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hello All again, I got too many questions about vaso-active amines to respond to all. I am copying from a posting from Pamela Anderegg from 2/15/99. By the way, I saw my doctor today and asked him about vaso-active amines. He doesn't know either, but will read up on it. Vaso=3D vessel (blood vessel) active=3D can be dilating or constricting, amines=3Dorganic compound containing an amino group (?x#!?) Here is the list:beer, wine, brandy, shellfish, apples, avocados, tomatoes, plums and bananas, mushrooms, raspberries, oranges, tangerines, pineapples, raisins, grapes, figs, dates, prunes, lemons and the juices of any of these. Sugar, dextrose and honey. Sauerkraut, walnuts, pecans, coffee ,tea, vanilla, extracts (artificial or natural) cola, soft drinks, yogurt, sour cream, yeast extracts, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce. Cheddar, Blue cheese and Stilton, Pork, sausage, bacon, ham, luncheon meats, hot dogs, anchovies, pickled or dried fish, chicken livers, kippers and any processed meats. Stuff I hardly eat anyway... except for apples, tomatoes, raspberries and.. and..and...who needs pickled fish anyway...or chicken livers with anchovies... ? Jutta
