I'm not defending the dietary recommendations of the BBD at all as I too

think they are pretty poor. However, I would point out that both corn and

potatoes are allowed on the diet, as are all the nightshade family (other

than tomatoes) on occasion. AE has said to avoid rather than totally

eliminate tomatoes (I'd prefer to eliminate them having seen Cordain's

lecture) and as this instruction is fairly new, and their website fairly

slow, you'll come across recipes still containing them.

Mustard, if French, usually contains wine vinegar rather than malt vinegar

(grain) that is often used in English products.

Worcestershire Sauce does have malt vinegar, spirit vinegar, molasses,

sugar, salt, anchovies, tamarind extract, onion, garlic and spices, not to

mention " flavourings " which are E-numbers I suspect but as I wouldn't have a

bottle of it, or Ketchup, in my kitchen, I don't know for sure.

I wholly agree, don't eat processed food!

Ooops, my mistake. I got my diets mixed up. Corn and potatoes aren't

recommeded on a raw diet because they don't digest well. Corn is highly

genetically modified and allergenic to some people. It goes out in nearly the

same state that it goes in! The only nightshades that I'll eat now are ripe,

not green, bell peppers and only occasionally. The price of them this year has

made me eat them more infrequently than I would have otherwise. They've been

over $2.00 each! I never eat eggplant and won't eat tomatoes again. Potatoes

and corn are out too.

American style yellow mustard contains white vinegar, but Eden brand organic

mustard (THE best tasting mustard ever) is made with apple cider vinegar. I

grind mustard seeds and use that in salad dressing instead of prepared mustards.
