your feedback please!

 

I have read so many posts about tics and pizza .... I have a basic question - Why do you all think pizza may cause tics - is it due to the gluten or due to the tomatoes ... more insight please.

Hi efgh

 

I think a lot of that article is tongue in cheek......yes, there are some ok componants in junkfood, but the bad far outweighs the good and there are healthier alternatives that will give the good stuff without the bad.

 

as to ketchup, there are healthy brands that dont have the high fructose corn syrup or any coloring, flavoring etc in them.

 

 

As to pizza, my son can happily eat it without ticcing more. We are very selective as to where we get out pizza and avoid the "deliver to your home" brands, instead either making our own toppings and using a premade healthy crust or ordering from our local REAL Italian pizzeria who do make it all from scratch and use only pure ingredients........and you can sure taste the difference ahhhhhhh

 

For those on specialised diets, I know they have to avoid the tomotoes(salicylates) dairy and wheat/gluten so I can see where pizza may be a problem for them

 

I am really relieved that our family doesnt have food sensitivities, but especially that we can eat natural salicylates like tomatoes and apples etc. Dr Weil just did another article on how healthy apples are, and that they have an ingredient that prevents Alzheimers, while the Mediterranean diet containing lots of lycopene from tomatoes is heralded as being a major anti-carcinogenic

Nice to see your post. Hope things are fine at your end!

 

Which brand of ketchup do you use (you mentioned some healthy brand)

 

Reg, pizza you are right - but for the food sensitivities, I dont see any known trigger (artificial) in that

 

How many of you have noticed INCREASED tics due to high fructose corn syrup?

We sure do miss pizza! My son is sensitive to diary so we avoid pizza. My son reacts to corn syrup.

yes, my son's tics do increase with high fructose corn syrup.

 

We are not a ketchup eating family so I dont buy it, but I know Whole Foods has healthy brands, including their own.

Hi all,

 

Just got back from my trip, will be in and out.

 

efgh, Whole Foods carrries a Heinz ketchup brand with cane sugar vs corn syrup. They carry another brand too, but we don't care for it.

 

Don't know about us reacting, but I am definitely allergic to corn sugars, and corn syrup--especially high fructose seems like bad news to me.
