It turns into formaldehyde after you swallow it.<br /><br />You can do yourself a BIG favor by going organic. I literally saved my life that way. <br /><br />The processed foods chain is full of chemicals, including synthetics, that damage human health. You just never hear dieticians advising us about how many pounds of pesticide we need, or how many xenoestrogens (perfume, hair care products, cosmetics) we should use to alter human chemistry. And that's just a hint of why people wonder why they can't conceive, thrive, or feel so sick all the time.<br /><br /><br />Yocheved Golani http://www.linkedin.com/in/yochevedgolaniink <br />http://twitter.com/yochevedgolani <br />www.yochevedgolani.com and<br />http://itsmycrisisandillcryifineedto.blogspot.com/Yocheved Golanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17030509114779062693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675909413199524374.post-69824760402866014312010-02-07T06:08:45.126+02:002010-02-07T06:08:45.126+02:00CORRECTION: I typed B&D when it should have sa...CORRECTION: I typed B&D when it should have said B&B Beigel & Beigel.<br /><br />MiriamThe Blogging Saftahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15713305306852476766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675909413199524374.post-53528311973025057912010-02-03T06:47:14.909+02:002010-02-03T06:47:14.909+02:00Hi Alissa

This is because it isn't listed as a specialty item or on the specialty shelf.<br />I buy the large size as it is more economical/ My dietIican told me that this is the healthiest peanut butter on the market. We have been using it for years. <br />This goes to show this if they want to manufactures can keep the price down.<br />MiriamMiriamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675909413199524374.post-50394151112110573592010-02-02T06:30:57.091+02:002010-02-02T06:30:57.091+02:00Hi Miriam,

We now have truvia here in the US, I am not diabetic, but<br />its steevia; truvia has taken the best part of the steevia plant and ground it up. I buy it in packets.<br />Its not expensive here, do they have this in Israel. a few years ago when I was in Israel, I looked<br />for steevia and found very little....so maybe its changed now<br />FaygeFaygenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675909413199524374.post-28545160086416552052010-02-01T15:18:21.274+02:002010-02-01T15:18:21.274+02:00I was going to add my 2 cents (agarot?), but Meyer...I was going to add my 2 cents (agarot?), but Meyer said exactly what I was going to say :)<br /><br />Unfortunately,it's all about supply and demand. The demand for your needs is much much less than the demand for the salty, sugary stuff. <br /><br />Case in point: I only eat natural peanutbutter - no salt, no sugar, no nothing added. Just peanuts. Natural peanutbutter is more expensive than skippy, jiffy, or any other "chemicals added" brand out there. The less that's in there, the more you pay.Alissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00846819414972534465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675909413199524374.post-7226135549708694332010-02-01T10:41:47.615+02:002010-02-01T10:41:47.615+02:00Shalom Mrs Goodman You have a good point .

The amount cost of sugar vs sweetener is negligible that should never create a price differential.<br /> <br />Thank you for sending me your blog.<br /> <br />Respectfully<br /> <br />ManisManisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675909413199524374.post-9598165370958036112010-01-31T17:41:44.015+02:002010-01-31T17:41:44.015+02:00First I congratulate you! You are diabetes sympto...First I congratulate you! You are diabetes symptom free! <br /><br />Yes, the chemical is more expensive than sugar. In addition, less items are made with the artificial sweetener than with sugar and so the cost is increased. Give your family extra hugs, keep your stress down, and think about Purim costumes, etc. Some battles are winnable, some are not. <br /><br />Miriam, may I urge you to either eat your toast with sliced or smashed fresh strawberries, bananas, fruits of the season -- avoiding all processed chemicals or sweeteners. Taste, savor, you will soon enjoy and not miss the sugar or chemical at all. <br /><br />Are you a member of the below?<br /> Israel_Wholistic_Forum@yahoogroups.com<br /><br />We have stimulating discussions regarding how to live wholistically in Israel and the world.<br /><br />The substitute chemical sweeteners may not be the best for brain and body health -- and yes are better than diabetes and dialysis. (I live in one of the USA's dialysis capitols -- Colorado. Hispanic and Native American eating ways and genes unite. I have driven folks at 4 am in all kinds of weather to dialysis. I have written grants.) The chemical sweetener is better than active diabetes, dialysis, and early death. I recently lost my dear Rabbi Joshua Toledano to diabetes plus complications and MD stupidity; everyday I talk with Rabbi Toledano, so missing his wisdom provided with a loving spirit and deep soul.<br /><br />On the Forum, we have been discussing stevia, the south American plant. Consider growing it in Neti Vot. Some folks still think that there may be chemical alternations in the brain paths from too much of it. There are recipes for using the plant. <br /><br />Most important, stay healthy!

If they have to produce something special or change their manufacturing techniques to cater to “others” it costs them more. Are they justified in the price they charge is a different question. It may not be fair but they are in business.<br />RE: is it the manufacturer or the grocery store that jacks up the price?<br />Meyer: It is most probably the manufacture for the reasons given above. If you suspect it is the store who is raising prices beyond what is permitted (yes there are laws here also) there are government & civil authorities that deal with these infringements.<br />Re: Where I shop, some products that are imported from the UK or Italy are cheaper than products that produced locally. I have one question. Why?<br />Meyer: If the product(s) cost less to produce or as is the case many times, the product is subsidized by the country than other, similar products then of course it cost less for the consumer.<br />Where to complain:<br />• Israel Consumers Association<br />35 King George Street, Tel Aviv, 63295.<br />Tel: 03-5285228<br />Fax: 03-5285229<br />• Israel Government portal – http://www.gov.il/firstgov/english<br />• The State Comptroller and Ombudsman - http://www.gov.il/FirstGov/TopNavEng/Engoffices/EngAuthorities/Engmevaker/Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08791975897062167448noreply@blogger.com
