Re: Northland Juice...is it SCD safe

[Guest guest]

" natural flavors " are not legal. There's no telling what they could be. That might be the culprit.

 

Question, I've been having a flare up this weekend (not sure the cause). I've been eating cheese (although it's aged for 9 months and started with a lactic base, and I had this brand cheese Cabot -- last weekend with little or no reaction, but I used the full-fat version.) This week, I used the low fat version of the cheese.

My diet this week: only green beans, spinach, zucchini, chicken, beef and lamb, applesauce/pearsauce with honey and Welch's Grape Juice

New Editions: bleu cheese (Friday)

Lowfat Cheese (Saturday)

Northland Juice (Friday/Saturday)

But, I've also drank Northland Cranberry Juice on the label. It says " NO Sugar Added, " but isn't completely sure...

Could it just be that I can't digest the casein/having a problem with the casein, or could there been some unknown sugar (off label) hidden in the Northland. The only thing I've been

Cabot Cheese Ingredients:

Fresh pasteurized lowfat milk, cheese cultures, salt enzymes, Vitamin A palmitate (Most Vitamin A palmitate is synthetic, does anyone know what it's made from?)

Northland Juice Ingredients:

Apple, Cranberry, Pear and Grape Juice Concentrates, filtered water, juice concentrates, natural flavor, vegetalbe color, fruit extracts (grape skin, blueberry, pomegranate, cranberry, red grape and apple), asorbic acid, Vitamin A palmitate, vitamin e acetate

Is Northland SCD safe and would Cabot Cheese (which is lactose free) be SCD safe?

I thought I read once that low fat cheese was not aged long enough for SCD. Is

that right? hehe...I should go to the local farmer's market next Saturday and

ask the cheese folks!

Do you have a link to the cabot cheese?  All I can find on-line is reduced fat cheese.  How reduced is it?  50-75%, etc.  I am pretty sure regular cabot is legal--that's what I used to get on the bar at Randall's.

 

Northland doesn't look legal to me.  Concentrated fruit juice.  There's a list on pecanbread.com of legal juices (Welche's, Tropicana, Knudsen's Just Juice--only).

Is it so tart your taste buds just about want to march off your tongue in

protest? If not, it almost certainly has sugar or HFCS in it. You would

have to write to Northland and insure that there was no sugar added at

any step of the way -- IOW, if it's from concentrate, then you would have

to insure that the people who made the concentrate didn't add any

sugar.

If this is your " cranberry juice, " it's almost certainly one of

the problems. Natural flavor is bad juju. Commercial apple juice is not

legal. Plus, and " juice " which is a blend of juices is not

legal -- there are just too many places where sugars can creep in --

because it's probable that Northland does not prepare each of the

concentrates it uses, and any of those could have sugar in them, yet

Northland could still say they didn't add any sugar.

In my experience, if it's low fat, they've added some kind of starch or

gums to make up the flavors of the fat they took out. How do you know

it's lactose-free?
