What to eat?

[Guest guest]

Actually, yeast cookery is very easy and very rewarding - and if you make your own from basics YOU control what is in it!

Look for unbleached flour for your baking needs.

And the smell of freshly baked bread is almost irresistible - definitely a big minus if you are watching your weight.

On the rare occasion I do bake bread I use organic butter in it and on it.

What to eat?

Okay, I've started looking at the food I am eating. If I am going to do away with the foods containing bromide, what does that leave? I eat bread or waffle for breakfast. I cook a good bit. I just would like some ideas of how to go about eliminating bromide when possible, and still enjoy eating good tasting food. Thanks

Hi Betty,

It is very easy to avoid bromide in foods.The main sources are brominated flour in baked goods as well as brominated vegetable oil in citrus soft drinks, such as Mountain Dew. Citrus Gatorade also contains brominated vegetable oil. Methyl bromide is used as a pesticide for strawberries and other fruits. It's most important to try and eat as organic as possible, thereby avoiding toxic chemicals. Some breads are bromide free but one has to read labels very carefully to find them.

Best,

Unless the flour you buy says 'unbromated', it probably is bromated. King Arthur flour is labeled "Never Bromated", for example.

If you want to get rid of the bread type syuff, or not sure you can do it. Have

a read of 'Wheat belly' by Dr. . He makes an very good scientific case for

dropping the wheat entirely.

Brominated flour is mainly a concern in the US. Canada and at least some

European countries do not brominate flour
