True.  Exactly...  Maybe sometime when I'm feeling a bit more reckless,
I might give the vinegar a knowing try... the reaction is not fun, but
it isn't life-threatening, and it does wear off eventually... ;/

 BM> An increasing number of them, in fact.
 
That does indeed seem to be the case...  there are some juice combos
that I used to be able to have, that now have apple in them, so I can't.
And I continue to read the ingredients for anything that is being
"taste-tested" at the store, even things that shouldn't have any apple,
as one never knows...  :(

First time for everything... ;)  And there's no way any of us can know
everything about everything...  (G)  I don't even know everything about
the instruments I play.. :)

ttyl        neb

... Drawing on my fine command of language, I said nothing.
