-For about 7 years, they have binding these vitamins to a starch that is

processed from corn (they would not call it cornstarch, only a

" starch processed from corn " ).

So from what I can tell, Dole Pineapple Juice in a can has actually been

ILLEGAL for 5 years.

What do you think? Starches processed from illegal ingredients are

illegal, right?

I've never used the juice before because I had never read that it was one

of the legal ones, so I can't say that it has affected me negatively. But

do I wish it was legal because it would be so tasty in my morning

smoothies!

Well, starches aren't SCD-legal.

I used to be able to get pineapple juice without the A & E and had no

problems with it. BUt yes, about five years ago, they changed the label.

At the time, I attributed my reaction to it to the stress of Hurricane

Katrina -- but I don't drink much fruit juice, with the exception of

Tropicana original orange. l

Just

a comment.

Juicing

a pineapple in your home juicer couldn’t be simpler. It requires a

lot less preparation time than some fruits (like citrus, for example).

And it tastes much better than any commercial juice ever could. I always

dilute my juices, so one juiced pineapple gives me a good amount of juice that

I add to my other juices to make wonderful flavor blends.

Amen! And, you can freeze the juice in ice cube trays and take out a cube

of this or a cube of that to make mixtures with.

I'd say so! Cherish it!

pineapples.

Do you have juice from 5 years ago? That is the only way it would be legal if this latest email is true. So this was changed at the time of Elaine's death, if not before. It does go to show us that prepared food can't be trusted since it can be changed.
