Hi,

        I have been reading the list for about a month now (and food labels
for about 4 years).  To my understanding of both CD and Organic Chem,
Glutamine, Glutamate, Glutamic acid, and glutinous rice have nothing to do
with Gluten.  Can a chemist check me on this?  (At least one member wrote
about fear of glucose!!)

        I also understand that while dextrin may come from wheat, maltodextrin
comes from corn.  Is that right?

        What about cellulose.  I suppose that it can come from any plant
matter, even wood pulp.  I have found that cellulose is used in shredded
cheeses to prevent caking.  Is it safe for us?  How do folks deal with that?


                                Paul Kagan

P.S.  Give me a few weeks and I will summarize.
