[edit] Toxicology

The Toxicology section has problems "Allergic reactions are very rare and it is well tolerated when administered internally." refers to a specific clinical trial about tube feeding, not to the general population. The rest of it reads like an industry pamphlet. Krisjohn 07:49, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

It may read like an industry pamphlet, you removed the only scientific source which states that it is pretty safe (tube feeding is still eating, and I hope that the group of people tested is a subset of the population. Off course there are always downsides to compounds, and your addition of the other information is OK, though I would like to see scientific references for those as well. --Dirk Beetstra T C 08:07, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

I see nothing that supports the claims for behavioral effects in any of the listed sources. Plus, they look very dubious to me - fedupwithfoodadditives.info? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.69.61.233 (talk • contribs) 00:59, 27 December 2006

The last five references under the toxicology section are unreliable references. I will remove the troll references. --Organic Flavor 21:25, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
