If that's true, then it could be part of the formulation that causes a small percentage of people to get sick. Maybe it's akin to how cilantro causes some people to have a very alkaline taste when they eat it.



There are lots of foods that you can develop a sensitivity to if you eat them more than a couple times per week. So it might not even be a permanent intolerance, but rather something that's more transient.

E.g. supposedly if you eat wine cap mushrooms more than twice in a week then you'll be throwing up everywhere, but then you'll be fine again to eat them a week later.


Ah yes, the cilantro / coriander tastes like soap thing... completely ruins a whole bunch of delicious foods for me :(


Maybe one day they will fix that in the womb before the baby is born, haha! Or there can be some kind of gene therapy that can fix it/subdue it.
