Carissa,

There are a few, a very few products for which we have letters in the

library.

It's your choice to use processed foods, but if you do use them, and then

don't see the results you hope for from SCD, consider pulling the

processed cr@p and making everything yourself.

One of the things which infuriates me is the number of ways manufacturers

sneak junk into our food.

For instance -- tomato paste frequently has added sugar. Or starch as a

thickener. But -- the manufacturer is only required to list " tomato

paste " as an ingredient, not what ingredients are in the

ingredient.

For another, they're not required to list " processing aids " on

the labels because they are not ingredients. I got very, very sick on

some sliced beef roast for which the listed ingredients were " beef,

salt, water. " Then I found out every slice was dusted with corn

starch to prevent sticking together.

You'll find SCD blogs listing a whole raft of foods they call

" legal. " Again, it's your choice. I stand by " make your

own, make your own, make your own! " That's what healed me as

significantly as I am.

Actually, I don't think the citric acid is MSG, but it IS derived from

corn.

I didnt think it contained it either... however i did say it wrong - its an ingredient that often contains or produces free gultamic acid (msg) - you can click on this link to download the pdf file (its 2 pages) the second page contains the chart of msg names.

I also found this from foodfacts.com

Citric Acid - MSG/Corn

A colorless, crystalline organic compound belonging to the family of carboxylic acids, present in practically all plants and in many animal tissues and fluids. It is one of a series of compounds involved in the physiological oxidation of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates to carbon dioxide and water.First isolated from lemon juice by a Swedish chemist, Carl Wilhelm Scheele, in 1784, citric acid is manufactured by fermentation of cane sugar or molasses in the presence of a fungus, Aspergillus niger. It is used in confections and soft drinks (as a flavoring agent), in metal-cleaning compositions, and in improving the stability of foods and other organic substances (by suppressing the deleterious action of dissolved metal salts)."

....Some brands of citric acid may be made from wheat, however this is rare.

It also gives a long list of the citric acid fruits.

I usually make my own pecan butter, but my food processor broke ( I accidentally

dropped it . I found these in my local health food store, and the

walnut-cashew one is amazing. They only contain raw organic nuts- and seem legal

to me.

I hear they also come in packets- although I have not seen them for sale. What a

great thing to take on the go. They are a bit pricey- but for a treat- or until

I buy a new processor... they look good. Note- I don't represent this company-

but any product that looks legal deserves a second look.

Note- they have a cacao product with agave- not legal, but the others look ok to

me so far. I have mostly looked at the nut butters.

--- This is what Heinz Classico wrote me in response to my inquiry. I've asked

a second time to verify all ingredients in their tomato paste, to be sure.

Currently waiting on that reply.

" Thank you for visiting our web site and your inquiry about Classico Sauces.

There are no hidden ingredients in the tomato paste used to make the Classico

Sauces. The natural flavorings listed in the ingredients are spices and

seasonings and do not contain any hidden sugar, MSG or other allergens as

designated by the FDA. "

But they won't say anything about starches or thickeners and sometimes

sugar and/or corn syrup and/or high-fructose corn syrup is considered a

" natural flavoring. "

Oh, isnt' that annoying? Another incomplete list and back to the

old " natural seasonings " bit! Good luck with the second

letter.
