Re: Almond Milk - SCD compliant?

[Guest guest]

Do you have a copy of the book, Breaking the Vicious Cycle? Two ingredients in

this commercial almond milk are not allowed on SCD..... the cane juice, and

carrageenan. We need to make our own fresh almond milk..... it's easy!

Almond Milk - SCD compliant?

Can anyone tell me if Almond milk is acceptable on the SCD diet?

Blue Diamond makes a product that has the following ingredients:

PURIFIED WATER, EVAPORATED CANE JUICE, ALMONDS, TRICALCIUM

PHOSPHATE, SEA SALT, POTASSIUM CITRATE, CARRAGEENAN, SOY LECHITHIN,

D-ALPHA-TOCOPHEROL

If this is unacceptable, are ther any other off the shelf milk

alternatives?

For information on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, please read the book

_Breaking the Vicious Cycle_ by Elaine Gottschall and read the following

websites:

and

Evaporated cane juice is liquid sugar. Carageenan is not

allowed either.

There is a list on Elaine's website of legal/illegal foods.

http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info

There are no store bought brands of nut milk that can be used

on SCD. They all contain illegal sweeteners of some sort.

There are recipes for making nut milk on pecanbread.com.

Many of the ingredients in the Blue Diamond are illegal, CARRAGEENAN, SOY

LECHITHIN, and EVAPORATED CANE JUICE

However homemade nut milks are legal. Please check the legal and illegal items

in BTVC and see the recipe links on

Illegal because of several ingredients. To make your own, it takes as

much as 1/2 a minute (tossing in the blender + sieving afterwards)

plus the blending in the blender. You can vary ingredients. When

homemade, you'll have it very fresh. I make 4-5 cups (1 litre) every

morning.
