Are Applegate Farms hotdogs legal?

[Guest guest]

Hello... I'm new to this diet and was just wondering if anyone knew if

Applegate Farms hotdogs are legal. The ingredients read: beef, water,

sodium lactate (salt from beets), sea salt, honey, toasted onion, spice

extractives, and garlic powder. I gave one to my son tonight but now

am having second thoughts as I am not 100% about all those ingredients.

If those aren't ok, does anyone know of any legal hotdogs? Also, is it

ok to freeze the yogurt?

Thanks so much!

I wrote to them and this is what I found - they didn't address the

beef hotdogs which seem o.k. and my son loves - I will try to

check on them soon. Also, I'm not sure about other illegals like

kelp or other fillers.

This is what they wrote to me:

many of those applegate farms might have other illegals in it. carageenan

is a seaweed often in them, also garlic powders and onion powders often

contain starches not disclosed. make sure you print the list of illegals

from elaine's site www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info before assuming

something to be legal. also check out the knowledgebase section for any

comments on any of those ingredients. there is a wealth of info there.

Hi Allyson,

I think you've hit the nail on the head. So many ingredients and so

many places to run into SCD trouble.

Is the honey 100%pure honey, not cut with corn syrup or other SCD

illegals? Is it honey that is pasteurized and filtered?

What are the spice extractives?

Commercial garlic powder is illegal. Garlic when ground to a powder is

hygroscopic (water loving). Anti-caking are added to prevent

clumping. These are usually SCD illegal.

We don't endorse them on the list. If people using them are not making

the progress they feel they should be or are running into trouble we

recommend removing them.

> If those aren't ok, does anyone know of any legal hotdogs?

Marilyn posted a legal hot dog recipe. I make it occasionally and it

smells just like regular hot dogs. Some people have it made in large

batches by local butchers. They supply the spices and the butcher

supplies the meat.

> ok to freeze the yogurt?

It is okay to freeze the yogurt, but it will kill most (to all) of the

bacteria. I do occasionally freeze it to make ice cream.
