Hi Lynette,

The fruit juice powder, prune powder, vegetable juice powders are

illegal. The pectin is illegal. And you are correct the barley bran

is also illegal.

Healthy hair is something I have had a lot of positive comments about

since starting the diet...once I started absorbing my vits and

minerals again.

Thanks Sheila,

Just for curiosity, why are the powders illegal? I guess that means there is

probably no product comparable that would be ok? Lynette

Hi Lynette,

The powders are illegal because the powders can possibly include any

number of things including starches and or sugars etc.

Generally on SCD you'll want to go more for whole foods because they

are better assimilated by the body and because there you won't have

to worry about unlisted illegals.

The below (also on the website at

http://www.pecanbread.com/foodprep.html#homemade )may also help

explain this:

There are a number of reasons why homemade items are necessary for

SCD™ instead of the " convenient " store-bought items.

1) The 2% rule: There is a rule that allows some ingredients that

constitute less than 2% of the total weight or volume unnecessary to

report on the ingredient list. This can include sugar and other

illegal ingredients, since these do not fall under the list of usual

allergens.

2) Store-bought products often pass through many sets of hands before

they are put in the final package. For example, some juice

concentrates can be made in one plant and then shipped to another

plant where water is added and then they are bottled. The final

producer can " honestly " say they did not add any illegals but what

about the first producer of the concentrate. The original concentrate

does not even have to be made in the same country as the final

bottler.

3) Commercial producers are not bound to report some of the

ingredients listed in their foods. They can use processing aides,

enzymes etc., that are used in the production of the food but are not

technically an ingredient. When you make foods for your children you

know " exactly " what you are putting into it.

4)Buying foods such as cookies that are not listed on this site as

suitable SCD™ products, can lead to trouble. Some producers may

unintentionally use illegal ingredients. For example, a commercial

producer uses honey that is not pure (i.e., cut with corn syrup) but

includes honey on the ingredient list. The end result is that your

child is unknowingly ingesting illegals.

5)Some companies blatantly lie about the ingredients in their

products.
