    I bought some Chicken Sausages from Whole Foods, but want to run the ingredients by everyone to make sure I'm not missing something...the brand is "The Original Brat Hans" and it's the Chicken Sausage Spicy Cilantro...

    Ingredients:
    Chicken
    Chicken Broth
    Anise
    Cilantro
    Fennel
    Garlic
    Green Onion
    Oregano
    Paprika
    Parsley
    Red Pepper
    Sage
    White Pepper
    Salt
    Natural Pork Casing

    Those should be okay, right??

    What about the "Hebrew National" Jumbo Beef Franks...they say "No Fillers,No By Products, No Artificial Flavors/Colors.

    Ingreds:
    Beef, Water,Salt, Sodium Lactate, Spice, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Paprika, Sodium Diacetate, Garlic Poder, Sodium Erythorbate, Flavorings, Sodium Nitrite....I know that Nitrates/Nitrites aren't great for you, but during this stabilizing period I was looking for variety.

    And lastly...what about Deli Meats...like Roasted Turkey Breast, Roasted Chicken Breast...are those okay to eat, sliced fresh from the deli??

    Thanks again for your input!

    Ah! Look what I found when I googled hydrolyzed soy protein!
    The extraction process of hydrolysis involves boiling in a vat of acid (e.g., sulfuric acid) and then neutralizing the solution with a caustic soda. The resultant sludge is scraped off the top and allowed to dry. In addition to soy protein it contains free-form excitotoxic amino acids (e.g., MSG) and other potentially harmful chemicals including cancer-causing chemicals in many cases. A newer method of hydrolysis involves the use of bacteria by itself or in addition to the chemical processes described above. There is a possibility that genetically-manipulated bacteria may be used.

    I would go with the chicken sausage but definitely not with the hot dogs or deli meat

    Wow...guess I'll be 86'in the hot dogs..thanks for looking that up Hamp-Young! I thought that the meat from behind the deli counter wasn't full of fillers or bad things....the kind that you have cut for you fresh?? Well, this Phase is certainly and eye opener!

    Is there any point we can go back to deli meats? (Like turkey) Phase 4?

    I hope so, cause I really like deli meats, the good quality fresh stuff that you order and have sliced fresh, from our local Italian Markets...Yummy!

    You can even have them in moderation in P3 but they are never very good for you. They always have some kind of chemicals in them.
