Re: Is elli's Sparkling Cider SCD legal?

[Guest guest]

No.... it's not legal. ALL commercial apple juices are illegal..... especially

those that are clear. The only legal apple juice you can buy is the

fresh-pressed cider like you might buy at a farmer's market.... or sometimes

found in the refridgerated section at supermarkets, but more likely, natural

foods stores. It will be very cloudy.... unfiltered.

Both apple and pear juice go through changes when processed, cooked and filtered

for bottling that render them illegal on SCD.

Is elli's Sparkling Cider SCD legal?

The only reason I ask this is because I was watching " Unwrapped " on the

Food Network and the show spotlighted elli's Sparkling Cider. It

is made from only apples and nothing else or so it said on the show.

Carbon Dioxide is added for the bubbles. I would love to be able to

have a glass of this with Christmas dinner.

Thank you very much.

Hi Cathy,

You could contact them (ask at the store where you purchase it for a

contact name and phone number). Ask the maker what is in it, that

there are no sweeteners etc..

Hi guys,

From our experience with " 100% juice " , it has been amazing how when I

ask for a letter on the companies letter head, stating that it is pure

and free of added sugars, I NEVER RECEIVE MY LETTER! I have not

requested this from elli's. Someone may want to do this, after

telling them that it will mean possible hospitalizatin and serious

health set backs in their child. It is amazing how this gets the

truth out of them.

We now prefer to make our own apple juice wiht a juicer. Tastes

better anyways. You can add your own bubbles and a touch of honey to

make it sweeter (if you can tolerate the honey).

To be honest we are very concervative, we only drink the Welche's

white grape and Tropicana fresh squeezed orange juice (not from

concentrate). Everything else we make ourselves.

Food for thought, Antoinette and family of five (scd 2/06)

Thank you guys,

I probably shouldn't trust the President Choice Cider. They are the

grocery chain's " No Name " ...they won't tell you exactly who makes

it...I can't trust what their computer says about this product.

Antoinette, How do you make apple juice from your juicer taste good?

The kids tell me it tastes like water...they refuse to drink it...I

don't think It tastes good. Maybe I need a course on JUICING 101.

Boy do the Bond kiddos miss apple juice..

I've found that it's cheaper in the long run to invest in a really

good juicer. You can drink the juice fresh from organic produce so

you really know what's in it [mine also like it room temperature not

chilled which gives me control] Additionally you can use the pulp to

stir into stews and casseroles or use a proportion of it in baked

goods to up the fibre content.

Best wishes

Hi mmcewenasker,

It probably isn't a good idea to use this pulp especially for newbies.

When you remove all the good stuff in the juice (vitamins, minerals..)

you'll be left with concentrated cellulose. This concentrated

cellulose can feed the harmful microbes we're trying to starve.
