My LI Links Page Updated

Told ya I wasn't abandoning my Lactose Intolerance Clearinghouse. I just put some time and effort into updating my LI Links page.

That page has dozens of links about matters I don't cover directly on my site. That includes subjects like calcium, multiple food allergies, celiac disease, osteoporosis, and veganism. There are also some sites on lactose intolerance itself that have information worth pursuing.

In addition, I've been trying to gather links to all the important sites based in other countries that talk about these issues. I have links to sites in Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Germany. Most of these sites are relatively new. Lactose intolerance became an issue in the U.S. long before it did elsewhere, but the rest of the world is fast catching up.

What surprised me is how few links had gone bad over the two years since my last update. In the early days of the Net, links would go missing all the time as people stopped maintaining sites. Today sites have much more permanency. The Net is maturing, and the information it provides gets better all the times. What it lacks most, though, is context, and that's one of the things I aim to provide.

I did some Googling and found a dozen new links to enter onto that page, bringing the total to 67. Or 69. Somewhere around there. I'll be talking about some of them here on the blog over the next few days.

As always, the disclaimer. These are just sites I've found on the Net. They appear to have useful information, but I can't vouch for everything they say or contain. If you have a site you think I missed, let me know about it.
