list of illegal ingredients?

October 3, 2006

does anyone have a more comprehensive list of illegal & legal

ingredients that i can copy and take with me to the stores. i have

been dragging my btvc book in with me and never seem to be able to

find the page where it talks about what you can and can not use. i

am also having a problem wondering which brands to buy so i waste

alot of time reading ingredient labels then i am still not sure so i

just walk out of the store upset. for example, i just wanted peanut

butter & apple cider. if i had a list of acceptable brands then i

wouldn't be so afraid to buy what i need. i have twin 4 mos old

girls and don't have time to go back through all the posts and

compile a safe shopping list so i would really appreciate any

assistance. i went to 3 stores today and only bought fresh honey

with nothing added. i wanted the coconut oil but couldn't believe it

was $15 plus i wasn't sure if it was really legal.

it is day 3 for my 2 1/2 yr old and he is still on strike. he pushed

the scrambled eggs away this morning. i used extra virgin olive oil

to cook them in. is extra virgin olive oil legal?

Olive oil is legal, but butter is too. I can get coconut oil for about

$7.50. I don't use it very often. Usually, I reserve it for pan frying

something. I mostly use olive oil, and now butter since I know that my son

can tolerate cow dairy. You can use Smucker's brand all natural peanut

butter. Make sure that you get the all natural though. It has only peanuts

and salt. There are other brands, I'm sure. I wouldn't even take the time

to read the label unless it says all natural. Even then, still make sure

that onlky peanuts and salt are listed as ingredients. I can't tell you a

legal brand of apple cider because I drive a couple of hours up to a local

orchard to buy gallons and gallons to put in my deep freeze. Elaine's web
