Graters Ice Cream!

I found out just the other day that the chocolate chips used in Graters ice cream are not ok.

Apparently, the chocolate chips are made from the chocolate that drips off of the chocolate-covered cones and cookie dough and whatever else they chocolate cover.

Just FYI.

I'm sad because those chocolate chips were good! :(

I can't eat dairy ... but this sounds strange. Who did you hear this from? Is it someone who would know?

My sister has Celiac disease too, and I guess she found out from her friend the other day. I'm not sure how she found out, though.

Sounds like hearsay to me. I'm trying to find out for sure, but I'd definately research more before I just wrote them off. I don't think a company that claims to be the best out there, even better than Haagen Dazs, would use drippings off cones for their chocolate chips. It doesn't even seem like the most practical way to do it. Plus, their chocolate chips are soft, which is what I always liked about them ... and they're frozen, I can't imagine that same chocolate would work for a chocolate covered cone. I can't have casein, so no ice cream for me anyway, but I'm looking into it because my daughter is gluten-free but can have ice cream. I'll let you know when I find out definitavely, please do the same for me!

Okay, finally heard back from my friend who was a district manager for them. Here's what he had to say:

Perhaps what the person meant was that the chocolate chips in the ice cream

are soft enough that they drip off the cone. I'm not sure exactly how the

chips in Cincinnati are made, since they also make chocolates down there,

but up in Columbus and in Dayton (the Dayton area ice cream is made in

Columbus) the chips were made by melting more or less equal parts chocolate

(either semi-sweet or milk) with corn oil. The liquid chocolate is then

poured onto the ice cream after the ice cream's reached a solid form. The

chocolate hardens when it hits the ice cream and forms a sort of sheet over

the surface of the ice cream. Once the chocolate's solidified enough (a

couple minutes), the chocolate coated ice cream is then mixed together

resulting in odd sized chips.

      Aveeno products

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, I use Aveeno Moisturizing Body Lotion with prebiotic oat, unscented. I really only use it on my hands and not every day. Haven't noticed it any problems. I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Having a RAVENOUS appetite (or conversely no appetite at all - anorexia) and unintended weight loss are symptoms of early thiamine deficiency.   People who are physically active, athletes, physical laborers, those who exercise outside regularly have a higher metabolic need for thiamine.  Exercising outside regularly can cause more thiamine loss because sunlight breaks down thiamine.  (This is why people with heat stroke are administered thiamine.)  More thiamine is lost through the kidneys in those who exercise regularly.  Because blood tests for thiamine deficiency is so inaccurate, the World Health Organization suggests, if thiamine deficiency is suspected, give thiamine and look for health improvement.   Do not take Thiamine Mononitrate as this form is not well absorbed nor utilized in the body.  It is frequently found in foods, and multivitamins and B1 supplements because it will not break down with exposure to light while sitting on a shelf at the store.  Thiamine Mononitrate is shelf stable - it won't break down with light exposure - and this makes it not bioavailable.  The body only absorbs about 30% and utilizes less than that because it's so hard to break down.   Benfotiamine and the form of thiamine called TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide) and thiamine hydrochloride are wonderful forms to take.   I'm familiar with these symptoms because I dropped sixty pounds in a month because I had developed thiamine deficiency.  I ate well, exercised, and took a multivitamin (with thiamine Mononitrate), but the metabolic needs of my body demanded more.  The years of poor absorption due to undiagnosed Celiac disease had depleted my stores of thiamine.  My doctors did not recognize thiamine deficiency symptoms, even when they progressed to Wernicke's Encephalopathy.  They said I was making things up and sent me home. With nothing else to lose (I could feel myself dying), I took high dose thiamine hydrochloride as the WHO suggested and had improvement within the hour.   I also tried Benfotiamine and TTFD in the months that followed and had even more significant health improvement. Please don't wait until your brain starts malfunctioning or other organs start failing.  Please take thiamine soon.  It's nontoxic and safe even in high doses.  Thiamine works with other B vitamins, especially Riboflavin and Pyridoxine, so supplementing with a B Complex is essential as well.  Magnesium is needed as well to make life sustaining enzymes. There's no harm, no foul in trying Thiamine.  If for no other reason than to prove it is not thiamine deficiency.   P. S.  Thiamine is needed to turn on Vitamin D, turning it into its active form.  Otherwise  Vitamin D can't be utilized and just builds up in the system.

      Oh and yes, thanks, other than being permanently RAVENOUS and not yet putting on weight, I am feeling pretty good. I jog, do yoga, today cycled 12km to a food market then to another place to get my fish, then my gluten-free bread... My life is All about food!;( But I shld prob. be less active as obv is keeping the pounds off... And having some muscle makes me feel less depressed with my skeletal appearance.
