Guest guest Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 I know we've discussed the sugar that was added and is being removed, but I haven't seen a discussion of the lactic acid starter that they've added. This is grown on corn and people that are allergic to corn are reacting to it. Would it then be problematic as far as SCD goes (because of the grain)? It's something they added because small health food stores were complaining about the shelf life (apparently, they don't want to just keep the things frozen like many of us do). :-) So, potentially, if it is problematic, we could get them to change that as well with a big uproar like was caused with their adding sugar, but for now they have no plans to remove the starter. What do ya think? Steph -- www.praisemoves.com The Christian alternative to yoga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The starter culture if fed with dextrose (corn sugar, an SCD illegal). So, it's sort of akin to the idea that yogurt starter eats the lactose in milk. So, the question would be, does all the dextrose get consumed by the starter culture? We know that those with corn allergies are reacting, so there is some aspect of corn left in there to some degree. More to come (I hope).
