The commercial salad dressing, most non-raw vinegar, and fermented

products make me immediately feel ill. When I found out that most

commercial products use a chap, chemical form of lactic acid, I began

Kat, could you point me to the information about the D- lactic acid

Try one of the below links from areas I was researching. It may be in a

link from one of these pages or within one of these pages, it has been a

while back that I was working on this:

This was one web site I had been researching about lactate metabolism

http://www.emedicine.com/emerg/topic291.htm

Here is one that talks about the L and D-lactate, " Normally only minute

amounts of D-lactate are produced endogenously. "

http://www.hdcn.com/6/601kihal.htm

Or it may have been on the " How Stuff Works " section on food preservatives.

http://www.howstuffworks.com/food-preservation6.htm

While I cannot find the specific web site right now, the above is a good

place to start. Or, you can go to any search engine and you will find it.

I know I found a couple of references.
