Guest guest Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 >> I know about Occam's razor -- but where are you going with this (in terms of Native Nutrtion)? << Nenah suggested that aliens were responsible for gluten intolerance. Space aliens. I felt it was introducing a superfluous entity as there are other, simpler explanations available and cited Occam's Razor. She replied she did not know what Occam's Razor was, and also responded asking what it is, and I replied. Since it was clearly not relevant to the original subject line about gluten intolerance, I changed the subject line.
