I have a few more questions I'm confused about.
I read a summary of the Sunnybrook study and it said that pepperoni is ok to eat - yet I could have sworn that Scott got a hypertensive crisis from pepperoni. It said that cured and aged meats are off limit but then said that pepperoni is ok. Isn't pepperoni cured? Is baked ham ok?
I read here that only the fermented soy products are the ones you need to stay away from yet I also read a post in the archives here of someone who claimed to have a crisis from pancakes made from a mix. She later looked at the label and saw that it contained soy powder. If you were to go to a restaurant and order pancakes, are you taking a risk?
Are raisins still considered a problem? Someone here also said to look out for raisin paste and tomato paste. ???
Do I need to stay away from all Chinese food? Or do I remember some of you saying that you only go to ones you really trust. Even if it's a good restaurant, how can you know how old the stock is that they use?
The summary I read also said to stay away from kava beans and pods. I have no idea what foods they're used in. It also said to stay away from "Chinese pea pods etc." That's the first I had heard of chinese pea pods being a problem and what does the "etc." refer to?
I'm still concerned about going out to eat and getting steak that has been cooked with some soy sauce/steak sauce on it or going out and getting meatballs that have been prepared using soy protein isolate or concentrate like all of the ones from Trader Joe's.
Don't remember seeing anything about avocadoes in that summary? Are they ok or not?
I wish I could get a copy of the full Sunnybrook report. I know that someone else here asked for it recently but I don't think they received a link for it or instructions on how to get it. I hate all of the gray area here. It's driving me bonkers!!!
