I recall seeing a thread here a while back about can juice and it's typebase value. I can't seem to find it and need to know if it is an avoid/neutral/beneficial for me. I have done a search and can find nothing!! Nothing on typebase either (that I can see).
Also, someone posted a website where you can order travel size packets of condiments (namely olive oil). Anybody know what that website was?

Dr. D Question: Why no Sucanat for B's???
Answer: Raw cane sugar possesses a B-antigen degrading enzyme Much like certain preparations of soy. In essence, the enzyme digests your blood type. Not so good for the mucus of your GI tract. It appears to be in the mineral (or ash) portion of the food, which is much lower in the other refined commercial forms. Prolonged boiling (as in molasses making) inactivates it.
As an avoid it is only a Tier II value (optional in otherwise healthy individuals), so don't get too bent out of shape. B non secretors may want to take this more seriously though, especially if obese; and B secretors if prone to gut permeability issues.

Resurecting this thread...according to the typebase, sucanat is an avoid for everyone. I assume this applies to all forms of cane. This is a tough one, as it is in SO many things. It's the only avoid that I knowingly consume. I just noticed it is in soy milk! Hopefully only in small amounts. It is a tier two avoid for As too, so I guess that is something. For A secretors it says "Secretory insufficiency"...how bad is that in the range of bad things from avoids???

The fact that it is a Tier 2 tells you it is not as bad as all the Tier one avoids. The standard line is if you are healthy, not recovering from illness or injury, not unduly stressed, needing to lose weight, etc and not Rh-, A2, or MM then it is OK to use Tier 2 avoids as neutrals.

Both type of sugar begin the same way ... within 24 hurs of harvesting, cut sugar cane is crushed to extract the juice, water is added, the syrup is clarified and concentrated through heat and then dehydrated to make Sucanat or crystallized to produce Evaporated Cane Juice.
Sucanat (dehydrated cane juice) is produced from a pure cane sugar juice stream, which naturally contains about 13% molasses and 87% sugar. Through dehydration and aeration, as opposed to evaporation, a granular, dry, free-flowing form of this juice is produced which contains all this natural present molasses.
Evaporated Cane Juice is produced not by dehydration and granulation, but by evaporation and crystallization. The act of crystallization separates the majority of molasses. This is unavoidable as the creation of a sucrose crystal is a very pure entity which retains a little molasses inside, but mostly the molasses coats to the outside of the crystal giving natural color and flavor, but far less concentration than that found in Sucanat. The product is therefore much lighter in color and flavor and better for more sensitive applications where a molasses flavor is undesirable. As compared to the 13% of molasses present in Sucanat, Evaporated Cane Juice has a range of 0.2%-2% molasses.

Thanks for that info, MoDon. I guess as a tier 2 avoid I can allow myself a little bit. It's the only avoid I knowingly consume, and not in much quantity...only when it is an ingredient of something else.
