Re: Tuna and cultured butter

[Guest guest]

,

I always stay away from tuna.... because the ones I've found in the past have

always had the word " broth " listed on the label (which can contain illegals). I

also avoid tuna for other reasons.... and have not seen the one you mention

here. I honestly don't know what pyrophosphate is. Sounds like something I

wouldn't want to consume.

I buy Bumble Bee canned Alaskan pink salmon.... which is wild caught. Only other

ingredients are water and salt. I know wild Pacific salmon is supposed to have

less possible mercury contamination.

I don't know about the cultured butter. I would want to know exactly what was in

the " microbial culture " . I just use regular butter here. I'll have to let

someone else answer.

Tuna and cultured butter

Is there a brand of tuna out there that is legal? I've got some Bumble Bee

Prime Fillet solid white albacore in the pantry. The ingredients are: tuna,

water, salt, pyrophosphate added. My only question is the pyrophosphate. I

don't even know what that is!

Also, is just any cultured butter ok? Mine has Pasteurized organic sweet

cream (milk), and microbial culture in it. Not sure what they mean by

" microbial culture " , so I wanted to make sure.

Thanks for any quick responses, as I will start the diet tomorrow.

I have a book that I use to look up food additives and see what they are. It

says that pyrophosphate is a " salt of pyrophosphoric acid " . and a tiny bit

more.

So could one assume that it is legal?

hmmm...

well, I *think* that a tiny bit of a relatively non-scary food additive might

be ok, but it would be better to hear from the moderators on this, since Elaine

stressed making so much of our food from scratch. I've gotten more and more to

want to avoid just about everything from the mainstream diet that is either made

in a lab or reminds me of people having advanced degrees in chemistry to make

stuff to add to our food supply. I'm sure *some* such things are not so bad.

I'm just awfully leary of it all as a whole category, since so many of them are

harmful IMO.

sorry I can't be more helpful

Yeah, you're probably right. Maybe I will just continue to look for a tuna

with just salt and water. Sigh.....I really like tuna. :-) Tuna with a

little butter and cheese on it really agrees with me and is quick to fix. So

I'm hoping I can hang on to it somehow.

Thanks for the reply.

Try the canned boneless pink Alaskan salmon.... Bumble Bee, in the little

tuna-sized cans. It really tastes almost identical to tuna. It's a bit more

expensive... I usually pay $1.69.
