To list-Members from Anne Rutherford This is a summary of a short news item in the Globe & Mail Mon May 4 1998 CP A neuroscientist at UBC thinks there is a link between the bleached flour used by Canadian cooks for years and years and neurological disorders like Parkinsons. Dr Chris Shaw believes the deadly chemical is methionine sulfoximine a byproduct of nitrogen trichloride. This bleaching process was banned in Britain and the USA in 1950 but it was used in Canada until 1968. More information on this subject would be appreciated
