I can't answer the larger question of whether pork in and of itself causes

problems. But almost all ham and bacon have nitrites which many children react

badly to, and both are cured with sugar in one form or another. I've been

searching for no-nitrite no-sugar ham but so far nothing....

> Dana and everyone else, I was reading a site that Dana gave me about luteins,

and it mentioned in one sentence that " During a

candida cleanse avoid pork. " (direct quote). I ask because we're trying to clear

out my son's gut... and recently he has developed a

taste for pork chops, bacon, and ham.

Bacon and ham generally contain nitrates, plus both are " cured " which usually

means sugar.

Pork chops can be plain, but then again can contain other things also.

You can keep the pork chops if you want. Drop the others tho.

My thinking is the same as the rest: avoid the nitrates and added

sugar, but 'plain' pork should be fine. Besides chops, you can make a

lovely pork roast, and ham (real ham that hasn't been cured). The

ones saying 'Ham and water product' usually have stuff in them. There

are plain real hams though. Farmland has a line that is plain-er or

you can check with local brands (like from a local producer).
