Almonds
From dsduani: WLU, I am new at this and wonder if this is the right place to respond to your edits. Let me know if this is not the case. In your recent edit on almonds you stated that almond is often substituted for vanilla by diabetics. Both almond and vanilla extract have about the same amount of sugar and calories so I'm not sure if this is useful information. Diabetics may substitute one for the other but I don't think it has any effect on their diabetes or diabetic diet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dsduani (talk • contribs)

Couple 'o comments:
 * 1)  Don't forget to sign with four tildes ( ~ )
 * 2)  It was the correct page, but when adding a comment to a user's talk page, it's more standard to add a new comment (the little plus sign between 'edit this page' and 'history') or just start a new thread with a new heading ==Like this==, rather than putting it in at the top.
 * 3)  I find it handiest to reply on talk pages, so people know that you've left them a message, so if you want to reply to me, do so on my talk page so I know it's there.
 * 4)  I have no idea what edits you are talking about!  The comment on vanilla extract predates my contributions on the page.  The comment in question has a couple problems in my mind, first it is unsourced, second it's kinda dangling in the paragraph and doesn't really link to the rest of the statements.  If you see a problem with the sentence (particularly if you've got a source, online or otherwise) I urge you to change it!  Be BOLD!  Keep in mind, the important thing is to have accurate information, not so much useful.
 * 5)  Unless it's a really controversial page, changing the info usually won't get you yelled at unless it's vandalism, so the best way to test out theories is to go ahead and do it.  If it gets reverted or altered, that's when you would bring it up on the talk pages, either article or user.

Anyway, I'm in a hurry so I've got to abruptly leave, if you've got any more questions feel free to ask me and I'll do my best, or put the tag on your page along with a question.

 * Saw the removal of the sentence in the almond article, and I say it's a good edit. Kudos!  WLU
