The clinical picture of shock liver is so characteristic and resolves so rapidly that there should be no confusion with other causes of marked elevations of transaminase levels.

Re: Does the sunflower have a distinct smell to it? Apparently, modern western sunflowers have no smell, so these are probably the ones you saw at the florist. However, a few months ago, I saw a different breed of smaller sunflowers that were quite fragrant. The smell wasn't floral, but reminded me of honey, so these are probably the ones used in perfumery.
Again, it is important to note that sunflower seeds themselves do not contain gluten. If they are raw or toasted with nothing but salt and oil, they are still gluten free. It is those pesky seasonings and flavorings that surprise you with a gluten containing ingredient so read labels carefully.1  reply.o, no, not the kind in the shell that you can happily munch on at sporting events; but the kind that comes shelled, roasted and salted. The Planter's brand of sunflower kernels does contain gluten-to the company's credit, it is labeled very clearly on the package.
