I use the following comforting hot beverages:

Coffee with saccharin (hermasetas tablets), vanilla (Frontier) and cinnamon

Tea with lemon, cloves. cinnamon, vanilla or orange peel instead of lemon.

You could make these as iced beverages too.

You are allowed an occasional diet pop or soda with artificial sweetener.

There may be soda pop still in existence sweetened with saccharin. Cott's used

to be.

There is less SCD restriction on these than those with aspartame. Elaine

approved use of

saccharine. See the reversal of the bad rap saccharine once received below:

Saccharin

We all know what it is... Pink packets of " Sweet 'n Low " that sit on restaurant

tables that we

may have put in our coffee or tea at one time or another. Around for more than

100 years

it is the oldest artificial sweetener, in 1977 the FDA required that all food

containing

Saccharin contain a warning label: " Use of this product may be hazardous to your

health.

This product contains saccharin, which has been determined to cause cancer in

laboratory

animals. "

In a study conducted by the National Cancer Institute during 1978 and 1979, it

was

concluded that heavy users of Saccharin, and products containing it such as diet

soda,

could be at an increased risk of developing bladder cancer. " Heavy use " was

defined as

" two or more 8-ounce servings of a diet drink per day, " or " six or more servings

of

[packets of] sugar substitute per day. "

Saccharin, used long-term, does not promote good health, but if you must use an

artificial

sweetener (for example, if you are a diabetic), please choose Saccharin products

over

popular Aspartame-containing ones (see below!).

note:

As of May 9th, 2000 Saccharin was removed from the National Toxicology Report on

Carcinogens as a possible cancer-causing chemical.

Digestive Wellness's mango and papaya puree should be a good option...

Why not try fresh lemonade? Fresh lemon juice in water.... add sweetener of

your choice. I usually squeeze 1/4 of a lemon into about 10 oz of water. I use

honey for my daughter... or sometimes saccharin. This is what she drinks every

day, instead of any other type of fruit juice.

Lime juice works really nicely, too.

I can't imagine you are juicing veggies yet? We do ok with a few veggies and I

dilute the fruit juice with it. This didn't come oevrnight however. It is a

gradual process getting veggie juice at all in them. Jenn & K 20 months SCD

Yes, this seems like a good one. Just need to find some cheap lemons other than

what is offered at Whole Foods. Way too expensive to make fresh lemonade

everyday.

Will try it, though!

I know.... lemons have been so expensive! A single lemon is 99 cents at my

grocery store.... but, oddly enough, a whole 2 lb. BAG of lemons in that same

store (the last one I bought have seven lemons) is only $2.99. You might look

for them that way. Sometimes, my store has limes cheaper than lemons. I think

all citrus is probably going to spike way up in price due to the recent freezing

weather, though.

Hi! I am new to the board and we have not yet started SCD but plan

to in the next week or so. I am just reading the board messages to

gather information. Never even thought about the sugars in juice -

my son drinks ONLY water or water w/some organic pom concentrate in

it. I started mixing in freshly juiced carrot juice. Any info on

the natural sugars in juiced veggies? How about the pom - just

checked the label and it has 41g of sugars/carbs! Thanks. B

Home juiced fruits and veggies should be fine as long as they are on the SCD

legal list.

The Pom concentrate will not be legal on SCD... so once you start, that will

have to go.

Most people on SCD do not need to worry about natural sugars in legal juices.

But *some* individuals who find they have extraordinary difficulty with yeast

may need to limit some of those foods (fruits, honey) at first.

Unless yeast is a huge issue, you will be able to use any of the legal juices

(diluted) once you start the diet. I posted the list of legal juices just this

past weekend, so you can find it by scrolling back through the recent messages.

Has anyone ever had a problem with saccharin? I have been nauseous and have

had D. I was wondering if it could be that I had too much.

Thanks : )

Seven years is my track record and no known problems. I get nauseus before a

snow or

rainstorm but not from Hermasetas.I used saccharin from 1945 until the advent of

the

early versions of Sweet and Low .
