Guest guest Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 To me the honey is the best sweetener around and as raw as you can get it. I once had it straight from the comb and what you buy in the stores is a poor imitation to me. Sugar is an odd one because I once worked for a sugar plant and they produced all white and dyed some brown.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Yes, you do have to be careful with cane sugar- not all cane sugar is safe or natural.. and lots are blended with corn, even granulated.. a big headache these days- when you think you are eating an apple, you are eating a bunch of anti fungal chemicals, chemical fertilizers, wax made with corn derivatives.. crazy that food isn't always "food" anymore..and groups like this are proof positive, that humans don't run well on chemicals..

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 We can definitely trust a lot of food but certain processed foods that are done with chemicals in my opinion are dangerous. Vegetables, for example we wash and any chemicals that the processors may forget are removed. Please do not be too terrified as a few years ago people died from eating organic spinich. Research, care and attention with knowledge of what is best for you and your family is best.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Yes, organic raw and I cannot emphasize enough that you need to know and trust the source. We only buy honey from one beekeeper in Texas for our daughter- I am sure there are more out there that are safe, but we found this gal through our organic farmer who is completely soy and corn free as well.. The rest of us take a risk with other local farmers, but with Abby being so fragile we don't trust much food for her.Diane http://mitochondrialdepletionsyndrome.blogspot.com/ To: miralax Sent: Tuesday, August 14, 2012 9:48 AM Subject: Re: High Frutose Corn Syrup What worries me about this is they do put insecticides in honey banks and with the mites they just found that was the result of them dying off in the last few years?

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 For Abby it is slim picking for foods. We eat what is in season from local sources we have personally vetted. We have friends and family thankfully around the country that forage for her as well. Thankfully, many local organic farmers have embraced raising crops that are non-gmo, and corn and soy free. Did you know, that even the "clean" fertilizers often used are corn compost and chicken feather compost(commercial fed primarily gmo corn)- so yet another source of contamination that may or may not impact someone like Abby- we simply cannot avoid all corn, soy gmo- but we do everything in our power.. Who would think it would be in wax and wax paper, toilet paper, vitamins(they claim to follow the parts per million, but many are still sensitive to that minute amount)..eggs- organic doesn't cut it, because usually they are grain fed. Even "free range" are given grain- very hard to find naturally fed chicken and eggs. I think on average corn allergic patients can remove about 80 percent of the hidden corn- but when it is on the sizing of your clothes, mattresses, magazines- it is overwhelming.the Miralax was just one too many insults to her body- and we were really shocked at the huge improvements in her health in general when we removed the miralax, then corn, and soy on top of everything else she is allergic too- long way to go, but thankful she is stable.Crazy what we just don't know about our food,homes,medications and environments until we are forced to learn.Diane http://mitochondrialdepletionsyndrome.blogspot.com/ To: miralax Sent: Monday, August 13, 2012 3:55 PM Subject: Re: High Frutose Corn Syrup We can definitely trust a lot of food but certain processed foods that are done with chemicals in my opinion are dangerous.
