Guest guest Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 I've noticed too that my favorite organic dark chocolate covered almonds contain soy lecithin as an emulsifier! These are the only things I eat that contain anything soy b/c I am very cautious about that. But it certainly is frustrating. I have to have *something* sweet and chocolaty every once in a while and I think organic dark chocolate almonds are among my best bets. I wish I knew how bad the small amount of soy lecithin they contain really is for me though! On 6/7/05, <harringtonwa@...> wrote: > I just bought some more dried/powdered milk today.

I suppose I will have to weigh up how much of it I am having as a percentage of my diet. I noticed that Mercola even has soy flour in some of his recipes.

As for the powdered milk, I'd be more worried about the damage to the milk from the drying process than about a bit of Lecithin.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Thanks , That's made me feel a bit better. And as to the damage to the milk - I'm not worried about that as yet. A case of what I don't know won't hurt me I think. I'm not drinking it. I only add it to yoghurt and will be experimenting with adding it to kefir. It's never solely on it's own, so hoping the best un-homo stuff I can get will balance out the damage. Still casually searching for raw milk....I hate the having my choices in milk and fluoridated water dictated to me!!
