Re: Re: Pomegrante Illegal?

[Guest guest]

Pretty much any pre-packaged, commercial fruit juice that is " from concentrate "

is not SCD legal. So, you need to avoid all juice concentrates. I'll look for

info I've saved about this, but until then....

You can read more extensively about that on either

www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info or www.pecanbread.com . I believe Elaine

explains it in BTVC, too.

You WOULD be able to use a legal juice (not from concentrate)... and mix it with

sparkling water to make your own special fizzy drinks.

We have no control over undisclosed ingredients and require a hand

written letter from the source of the product. Pleas for approval of

store bought juices and syrups have existed here from the beginning.

The legal brands have been investigated and approved. There are

thousands of other products in the marketplace that include those

people would like to use for SCD but should not.

The edible parts are the seeds and the brilliant red seed pulp

surrounding them. Pomegranates are high in polyphenols.

Elaine's website says pomegranate syrup is illegal.

You may be right about the bottled Welch's grape juice. I know it is approved as

" legal " .... only the bottled, not the frozen... but I never buy it, so honestly

didn't keep in mind whether or not it is from concentrate. (My daughter won't

drink anything but water, believe it or not.)

Anyway, if so, I don't really know why Welch's is okay but other concentrates

are not. I know we are to avoid any other product with any " fruit juice

concentrate " listed as an ingredient.

Here is something I copied from Elaine's website,

www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info :

<< Juice from concentrate is normally illegal because when it is reconstituted

they often add other things (like sugar). Often additives are not listed on the

label >>

And this is from www.pecanbread.com:

<< There are a number of reasons why homemade items are necessary for SCDT

instead of the " convenient " store-bought items.

1.. The 2% rule: There is a rule that allows some ingredients that constitute

less than 2% of the total weight or volume unnecessary to report on the

ingredient list. This can include sugar and other illegal ingredients, since

these do not fall under the list of usual allergens.

2.. Store-bought products often pass through many sets of hands before they

are put in the final package. For example, some juice concentrates can be made

in one plant and then shipped to another plant where water is added and then

they are bottled. The final producer can " honestly " say they did not add any

illegals but what about the first producer of the concentrate. The original

concentrate does not even have to be made in the same country as the final

bottler.

3.. Commercial producers are not bound to report some of the ingredients

listed in their foods. They can use processing aides, enzymes etc., that are

used in the production of the food but are not technically an ingredient. When

you make foods for your children you know " exactly " what you are putting into

it.

4.. Buying foods such as cookies that are not listed on this site as suitable

SCDT products, can lead to trouble. Some producers may unintentionally use

illegal ingredients. For example, a commercial producer uses honey that is not

pure (i.e., cut with corn syrup) but includes honey on the ingredient list. The

end result is that your child is unknowingly ingesting illegals.

5.. Some companies blatantly lie about the ingredients in their products.>>

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The Knudsen " Just Juice " line of commercial juices has been approved as okay

(and I think they do have a " Just Pomegranate " ). You could add those to

sparkling water.

Remember to dilute any juice.

Re: Pomegrante Illegal?

All juice concentrates?? Doesn't the " approved " welchs juice say

it's from concentrate? I need help here. I'm a working mom and don't

have time for making my own juices. With a 4 & 2 yr old I need juice

options. THanks!
