[QUOTE=JaneS;15152061]That was me. Comparing FAILSAFE Diet research done by Anne Swain at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital several decades after Ben Feingold's, reveals more fruits and veggies with higher salicylate content than the Feingold Diet excludes even in Stage 1.
and I think The FAILSAFE Diet also has more additives flagged than Feingold does. It's really too bad these researchers cannot work together."]
If you check pages 47-60 of the Feingold Handbook, you will see that the Swain, Dutton and Truswell study in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, 1985 and used by the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital covers the latest information on salicylates.
It should also be pointed out that this reasearch are measurements without any specifics about the kind of salicylate. Nobody has done any research on the relative toxicity of the different salicylate. Nobody knows which kind of salicylate is worse for a sensitive person. And if they did know, it wouldn’t help because nobody knows how much of which ones are in any particular food. So knowing the amounts of salicylates are could be useless.
The Feingold diet eliminates those salicylate-containing foods that have been shown to be most likely to cause problems. The basic list used by the Feingold Association has been determined clinically. For those more sensitive, the newer information is published by the Association as well as I stated in my first paragraph.
