Re: GELATIN in the yogurt?

[Guest guest]

Honestly, I don't remember Elaine giving a specific reason, but

perhaps she did. Have you searched her website for the answer?

http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info

If it's not there, you are free to search the old Lyris list where

Elaine participated with us. The link to the old list is in the Links

section of this group.

Elaine said to make the yogurt with just the milk and the starter.

Flavorings, etc. were to be added afterwards.

Since gelatin has to have cold and then boiling water added I can't even imagine

how it

would work. What you can do is fold jellied fruit mixtures into chilled yogurt

and chill the

mixture for a mousse like dessert.

This is not an SCD answer but it may be the basis for why not to use

it. Many years ago a nutritionist told me that any time you add

something to yogart as processing it can keep the good bactiria(sp)

from doing its job. If any one know this as incorrect please say.

In the directions that come with Lucy's Yogurt maker (the ones that come from

the manufacturer) it says to add gelatin to cold milk before you heat it to make

the yogurt....on the sheet I received from Lucy's kitchen it says that Elaine

didn't want us to add the gelatin...just wondering why. We know to ferment for

24 hours plus.....yet inquiring minds want to know about the other.

This is the first i have ever heard mention of not using gelatin in the

yogurts. I make non-dairy yogurts, and use the gelatin as it greatly

improves the consistency of the yogurt. I can assure you that the

probiotic effect is still there...my son is soooo sensitive to

probiotics, and has the same results regardless whether i use the

gelatin or not. I really hope someone can clarify this....especially

since i just put another batch on before i read this!
