new research debunks trad views on nutrition

I agree, but what someone asserts here is not a source.

My point exactly.

Edited to add, one individual's allergies and their understanding of them are irrelevant to this thread. This current discussion started because said individual asserted that citric acid is dangerous for someone with an allergy to penicillin. That individual should of course follow their doctor's advice. But that is completely irrelevant to Shadrach's assertion that a jar of sundried tomatoes contains no dangerous preservative. Citric acid is not a dangerous preservative. Can we please now get this thread back on track?
My point was: you quoted a specific poster (Down Under) and said they had not given any credible sources "even as idiopathic advice to you as an individual," but that poster had in fact given such a source: personal communication from a medical professional.

I agree that has nothing to do with what a different poster (Shadrach) said.

I would agree if they had confined it to themself, but the generalization to 'us' ("doctors tell us to exercise extreme caution about...") demands a public source, I think.

I appreciate close and careful reading by anybody (would there were more doing it on all threads on BYC) and especially by someone as well informed as you @NatJ, so please don't hesitate to do so again if occasion arises. To err is human, and understanding is seldom complete.
 
This year's Royal Institution Christmas Lectures are being given by Chris van Tulleken. Links to where you can watch them in the UK or abroad are here https://www.rigb.org/christmas-lectures

The CHRISTMAS LECTURES are aimed at an audience of 11-17 year olds, however they are accessible for people of all ages and all levels of scientific knowledge. They are typically watched by families together – a Christmas family tradition on the BBC.

Lecture 1 - From Tastebuds to Toilet
Lecture 2 - How Food Makes Us
Lecture 3 - The Big Food Hack

The first one was broadcast last night and was entertaining as well as informative.

Growing mushrooms. The substrate block you see has been inoculated with mushroom spores. These are pioppino and were delicious!
