Focusing On Food

99% of the time my new diet includes no wheat, no corn, no soy/no legumes, no citrus fruits, no vinegar,  no mushrooms, no cow dairy except butter, no processed sugar

I noticed that even in a local mainstream market today one of main signs for an aisle was Gluten Free.
There is a definite shift in the world

However, after another bout of reading almost all of the gluten  free products had corn, soy, bean/pea proteins as well as sugar

Curious leads to article McDonalds French Fries not gluten free:

And on ingredients, McDonalds French Fries as listed on their website

Potatoes, vegetable oil (canola oil, hydrogenated soybean oil, natural beef flavor [wheat and milk derivatives]*, citric acid [preservative]), dextrose, sodium acid pyrophosphate (maintain color), salt. Prepared in vegetable oil (Canola oil, corn oil, soybean oil, hydrogenated soybean oil with TBHQ and citric acid added to preserve freshness). Dimethylpolysiloxane added as an antifoaming agent.
CONTAINS: WHEAT AND MILK.

*(Natural beef flavor contains hydrolyzed wheat and hydrolyzed milk as starting ingredients).

Reading that list made me so glad I have little interest/taste for their french fries

So curious about  Dimethylpolysiloxane, I found the following on CNN website

U.S. McNuggets not only contain more calories and fat than their British counterparts, but also chemicals not found across the Atlantic.

CNN investigated the differences after receiving a  blog comment asking about them.

American McNuggets (190 calories, 12 grams of fat, 2 grams of saturated fat for 4 pieces) contain the chemical preservative tBHQ, tertiary butylhydroquinone, a petroleum-based product. They also contain dimethylpolysiloxane, “an anti-foaming agent” also used in Silly Putty.

By contrast, British McNuggets (170 calories, 9 grams of fat, 1 gram of saturated fat for 4 pieces) lists neither chemical among its ingredients.

Interesting. . .
