To my knowledge, it's gluten free, yet contains corn.

Depends on the fruit .... as to what's used.

Apples don't usually use wax but insect protein...

Lots of very soft fruits are sprayed with a candida culture which prevents other yeast based infections....but is worth considering if candida/yeast is a problem for you.

For instance Penicillium expansum and Botrytis cinerea (blue and gray mold) are variously controlled by introducing candida onto the fruit. The waxy coating is then to seal this in...

Europeans buying year-old apples

By Leah Vyse

13/12/2005 - The apple market has suffered another bruising following revelations in the UK press that apples sold throughout Europe may be up to a year old.

Amazingly noone seems worried about them doing this for years until it became "news" ...

Biological control, especially using microbial antagonists against fungal plant pathogens, has gained considerable attention and appears to be promising as a viable supplement or alternative to chemical control (Woodhead et al. 1990). The development of microbial antagonists effective against fungal pathogens of pome (Janisiewicz 1987; Janisiewicz and Marchi 1992; Usall et al., 2001; Nunes et al. 2001), stone (Pusey and Wilson 1984), citrus (Chalutz et al. 1988; Teixid

Oh, just in case we have any jews or muslims as well Chitosan (poly-β-1,4-glucosamine) is not kosher or halal in its usual form since it is commercially extracted from marine crustaceans however it is possible to have a kosher halal one by extracting chitin from land insects which are.

Pretty much all beetles, flies and cockroaches use chitin as an exoskeleton so you may prefer finding a roach based one than a shrimp based one... personally, I'd prefer an apple to be an apple.

:o:o My doctor put me on an anti-candida diet about 2-3 weeks ago, so I hadn't had any fruit until last week when I had half an apple. I definitely reacted to something and that was the only different thing I had had, and it COULD be just the sugar alone, but who knows. At first I thought this was mainly a European thing, but when I did the google search you suggested, it seems like it's hit the US too. :( I'm with you, I'd rather eat just the apple!

Last time I looked into this I compiled a list of al the trade names.... like Decco I-182 .... and just keep following links then usually you find more tradenames ... keep writing them down but also write down words that the 'trade uses' these come up with the most shocking stuff because its talked about so casually by simple farm-folk... just like sheep shearing etc. one you use the right word google finds a lot more... (imagine searching on sheep shaving - you wouldn't get many hits compared to sheep shearing practice .

A lot of stuff I posted was just on Apples because that was the first link I found...same with the Europe bias...

however if you keep at this and spend a few hours you suddenly find its pretty much every fruit and every country.

Finally last time I found the manufacturers websites..... these are truly scary!

When you read their literature you start thinking its irresponsible to ship fruit that hasn't been irradiated, UV'd kept in carbon monoxide and sprayed with fungus and insect protein....it really makes it sound like a public service.

The erm problem is this is SO WIDESPREAD... and such normal practice that you can't really avoid it... and most of the farmers treating crops with say Decco I-182 probably have no idea its a candida yeast ... they just follow the instructions on the bottle.

Dear Donna,

That must be why my nose runs so much! I am terribly allergic to molds! Candida is also an issue with me! Who would have thought? This is scary.

Sincerely,

Hi, I'm pretty new to this food intolerance thing, so forgive me if i'm talking rubbish, but would peeling the apples help at all?

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
