     I think the fairest statement as a whole about TRI's feelings on Dixie's comments (if we have to sterotype TRI) is that TRI has determined that there is valid concern about the metabolic cycles in DS, and that they indeed differ from the "chromosmally deficient crowd" - those with only 46 chromies ;) On that, you indeed will get a concensus. You will also find concensus in that Nutrivene-D is the best way that they know, right now, to address that extra chromie from a nutritional standpoint.
