Guest guest Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 I've had great success with the almond yogurt, per the website, using Progurt probiotic; however, I found out that almonds are high in arsenic & my ASD son does show arsenic on testing so I tried making the yogurt using Vance's Dari-free and also cashew yogurt per the website. It just doesn't " gel " like the almond yogurt did. Can someone help me? My son REALLY MISSES HIS YOGURT! Thanks. Louise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of arsenic in almonds is tiny. There is arsenic in a host of other foods you probably eat. http://www.spectroscopynow.com/coi/cda/detail.cda? id=10864&type=Feature&chId=4&page=1 Carol F.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Did you make just cashew yogurt or did you try mixing the DariFree and cashews to make the yogurt? As Carol mentioned Dari-Free is not allowed on SCD because it is made from potatoes. Macadamias have been used successfully as well as raw cashews and hazelnuts (filberts). Perhaps one of those would be a possibility. I know there have been discussions on other lists about arsenic in conventionally raised chickens. Also, if your son spends time playing on treated wood playgrounds or on a deck made from treated wood, I would definitely consider that as a possible source of the arsenic since the wood is treated with arsenic.
