Re: Dextro Aminos
The place where we found the section with the people analyzing the scientific portion of the "allergy" claim uncovered that in fact, dextro-amino acids have absolutely NO negative effect. Even the proteins. As it turns out, "dextro" is merely a fancy way of saying some of the chemicals are bonded on one side, rather than the other (and even this is an oversimplification), and that because our body doesn't use or need them, it simply flushes them from our system. This was confirmed by a fellow biochemist.
So then, why does our respective foodstuffs and...bodily fluids potentially induce anaphylatic shock? Could the Codex, Bioware, even Mordin be either lying/perpretrating an urban myth? To be bluntly honest...no. I doubt they'd claim that such a response was possible unless it actually had happened, and even if we assume said allergic response was rare, if that was the case, why mention it in the context that it was a common scientific fact. Why would the bartender on Ilium warn us about the nuts in the red bowl...or tell the tale about the Krogan who drank 'liquified turian' (I don't even want to fathom what that means, or the implications)
My only assumption, is that the allergy does exist, but is NOT related specifically to dextro vs. levio amino acids. The chemical make up of each species does determine what foods they can eat for nutritional purposes, but there's a wealth of other chemicals, elements and compounds that we aren't taking into consideration. After all, we can only guess at why they bleed blue. My theory, is that there's some other chemical, some other substance presence in their bodies and food that's related to their dextro-amino makeup, one that has the potential to induce an allergic response. Now, of course, like any allergy, not everyone gets it, and not everyone has it to the same degree. Certain concentrations (like food or alcohol) are lethal regardless of species or allergic reaction (the 'liquified turian' incident, the bartender at Dark Star Lounge...) Whatever this chemical or substance is, it's present in things that are of a dextro-amino make. This unknown chemical or combination of chemicals is responsible for the scientific basis of the 'allergy scare'
What does this mean? Sure, Garrus might taste like liquid sugar...but it could still kill you. Be careful ladies...
