According to Deborah and Max, "Pure vanilla extract is legal - that is, vanilla extract, alcohol and water, or the same with glycerine replacing the alcohol (although beware - the glycerine variety tastes horrid). Adulterated vanilla extract with illegal sugars [or corn syrup] are not permitted, of course. Most supermarkets and even specialty shops carry vanilla extract with sugar or corn syrup added."

Due to increasing costs in the vanilla market and its effect on the retail sector, our new product, labeled Pure Vanilla Extract, has been specifically formulated to reduce cost-in-use. This vanilla is extracted from a uniform blend of choice, select vanilla beans, offering a rich, velvety flavor that meets the same unwavering quality standards as our other pure vanilla extracts.

Vanilla is highly addictive. The active ingredient in vanilla is vanillic acid. Vanillic acid is related to the hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine, both of which stimulate the brain. This chemical relationship explains why vanilla is a potent and addictive stimulant. Although people assume that vanilla is harmless, or even beneficial, companies know otherwise. This is why vanilla is added to ice cream, yogurt, cola, chocolate, pastry, perfume, and even cigarettes.

The alcohol used to extract vanilla could be from corn or grain alcohol. During the baking process the alcohol is evaporated and not detectable in the final product.

No, the term Bourbon is a geographic reference to the Bourbon Islands, Madagascar, Comoro, Reunion, Seychelles and Mauritius, off the east coast of Africa. In the 1800's, they were ruled by the French, whose ruling family at the time were the Bourbons.

To quote Charlene, "I have been on the diet for 5 1/2 months and I can tell you that there is no looking back. I feel better than I have ever in my life and I'm not even symptom-free. If you have the book start with the beginner diet on page 51. If you have trouble finding the Dry Curd Cottage Cheese (a.k.a DCCC) go to the website: scdiet.org and go to Resources section or let us know where you live and maybe we can help you. The Chicken soup is wonderful.

Yes! Here's what Elaine says. The carbohydrates that we consider legal in SCD are plentiful but are easily absorbed as they required minimal digestive capability. There have been many, many SCD babies born. Mothers were on SCD throughout pregnancy and some were big and some were normal (7-8 lbs and some were a bit less than 7 lbs). But as you know, diabetics (on insulin, not considered people in the best of health) have unusually fat babies. I understand it is because of high sugar levels.

The answer is not to Elaine's knowledge. According to some researchers, the Rheumatoid Arthritis should also respond but we certainly know from messages on this list that the SCD does not help with Rheumatoid Arthritis.

The chemistry of chocolate (which is cocoa) is connected in a biochemical way to cocaine. Dr. Haas said "no chocolate". It is addictive; perhaps it is because one of the physiological effects of cocoa is "local anathesia".

No. Here's what Elaine says. In relation to probiotics (and probiotics are the main reason for making/eating the SCD yogurt): "If you are not on SCD and are sending loads and loads of fermentable carbs down to the colon as most people are... the probiotic bacteria/ae will just make things worse. That is why I think it is so positively awful for the Crohn's and Colitis list to be PUSHING probiotics without the SCD. Wake up guys over there!"

Yes, To create a password-protected self-extracting Zip file, simply use password protection on the standard Zip file being used. FilePackager will automatically create a password-protected self-extracting Zip file; the user will be prompted for the password when the self-extracting Zip file is run. Unless the correct password is supplied, the files will not be extracted. If the standard Zip file is not password-protected, then the self-extracting Zip file won't be password-protected either.

Vanilla is grown mainly in four countries, Madagascar, Indonesia, Mexico and Tahiti. Vanilla is also grown in limited amounts in Costa Rica, India, Uganda and Jamaica.

A fold is the relative measure of strength of vanilla extract. Single fold vanilla is typically what the consumer buys at the market. For food processing, two, three or four fold vanillas are typically used. A single fold vanilla contains the extractive matter of 13.35 ounces of vanilla beans, containing less than 25% moisture, in one gallon of 35% aqueous ethyl alcohol. Two fold uses 26.7 ounces of vanilla beans, contains twice as much extractive matter and is twice as strong.

Formulate to match our extract in flavor, strength and usage, it is the consistency of between a syrup and molasses which holds hundreds of vanilla bean seeds in suspension giving products that physical gourmet appearance.

If the GI specialists do not believe that SCD works and want to know how it is backed by publications, what would you tell them? Would you tell them to get on the listserv and look at the recoveries? You would not have a leg to stand on. In the same way, when I had our miracle with the SCD, I started at step one and attempted to understand it for many years, 12 of which we spent studying just about everything in medical science and in the university.

quot;After staying with SCD for one year after all symptoms disappear, you can then introduce one food at a time in the following way...." Your thoughts about the fatigue are very perceptive. How and why can such a normal intake of food, although quite different than previous intake, create such a huge difference in how you feel? It is fascinating; is not new to us; and says to me that you are reverting back to HUMAN digestion rather than RUMEN (like a herbivore's stomach) digestion.

Extract are created by processing a raw material with a solvent and can be used both in medicine as well as the perfume industry. It is "a solution obtained by steeping or soaking" botanicals (roots, leaves, bark etc.) - in our case it is either oil, water, glycerin or grape alcohol.
