Re: Bison Skillet Cabbage Roll

Hi ,

It's better to have fresh tomatoes.

Here's what Bee wrote in Message #66031 about canned foods:

+++ Canned foods aren't good to have for 2 reasons: 1)

most canned foods contain mold, and 2) the inside of the cans are

coated with chemicals that leach into the foods:

http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/04/bpa-danger-from-cans.php

Dangers of Bisphenol A (BPA) From canned food

According to the FDA, 17% of the American diet comes out of cans, and

many of those have an epoxy liner made with Bisphenol A, a chemical

which can mimic human estrogen and which is linked to breast cancer

and early puberty in women. While the leaching of BPA from Nalgene

water bottles and other polycarbonate bottles is a concern, the

danger from canned food may be greater. The Environmental Working

Group tested canned food bought across America and found BPA in more

than half of them, at levels they call " 200 times the government's

traditional safe level of exposure for industrial chemicals. " There

are no standards for BPA; it is allowed to be put in anything, and

billions of pounds are produced each year.

There are recipes to make your own tomato paste, sauce and cooked

tomatoes on my website.

I would suggest making your own.

crushed tomatoes. It did not have any citric acid, just tomatoes. Is that okay

to use? I only buy canned tomatoes without citric acid. Please tell me that's

okay, because my hubby loved that dinner!

So if I can find canned tomatoes or tomato paste without citric acid, I can use

them?

I've read about canned tomatoes being bad. Sorry I just really want to clarify!

Thanks!

What brand of tomatoes are you buying without citric acid? Everything in our

store has it added.

+++Hi . Canned foods aren't ideal because they line cans with chemicals,

even if there is no citric acid in them, and a little citric acid isn't horrible

but also not ideal.

We have to " pick our battles, " and not get too overly concerned about some

things. It is better to make that delicious recipe than to get too detailed

about some things. You are going to detoxify more and more effectively as you

continue on this program.

All the best, Bee

Thank you Bee! I'm a bit of a perfectionist. But stressing out over little

details won't help me get better any quicker!
