Re: XPOST - TOXIC Sunflower Seed Butter Question

[Guest guest]

Hi Kim--took a quick look at the site as it would be something I'd like to try. It looks like the organic one is the only one that might be legal ( all the others have sugar or cane juice in them).....but it also says at the bottom of the nutritionals that Sunbutter( organic) may contain soybeans--this would make it illegal for SCD puposes. You might want to call them just to make sure. It's disappointing. I wonder if you could make your own. I'm sorry I didn't address the arsenic question--you could try to google it)

Regards,

XPOST - TOXIC Sunflower Seed Butter Question

My kids attend a nut-free school. I am using a sunflower seed butter that we all tolerate well as a substitute in some baked goods. (BTW, it tastes excellent!)http://www.sunbutter.com/products.asp#5I read Elaine's posts about seeds coctaining arsenic, and I'm looking for more information about this. The last thing I want to do is increase their metals toxicity. Can anyone help provide me with more info, or direct me to something that I can read/learn about toxicity/arsenic in seeds? I don't even know where to begin in approximating how many seeds are in 1T of sun butter to quantify their intake . . .TIA,Kim in NJ, SBS due to bowel resection Feb 032 sons, almost 4, ADHD, SPD, leaky gut, bacterial overgrowth All SCD Jan 1/09

I'm sorry, Kim--I don't have any info about the toxicity of this

product, but I do want to say that it's been a wonderful help in my

life.

One of my dds is on SCD and another has an anaphylactic allergy to

nuts. This Sunbutter is a big " crossover " help so I don't need to

make two different things. On Friday, I made a yummy Thai Cauliflower

dish with Sunbutter instead of peanut butter, along w. coconut cream....

Good luck finding out the right answers for you,

Thanks for the replies here - I JUST received this post, and notice

that it has bee flying around in cyberspace for a week!!!!! Ugh.

Thanks for the tip on the soy - I did not see that - I will contact

the company.
