goodbye vinegar

Ugh.

I just read an article from Allergic Living that had a list of surprise foods that sometimes have gluten in them.
And it depressed me.
I have not been doing a very good job checking labels lately and I really need to get it together and take better care of myself.


This is the list..

•hot dogs
•frozen burgers (meat, chicken, fish)
•seasoned or dry roasted nuts
•pumpkin and sunflower seeds
•potato chips
•cheese spreads
•soups
•Worcestershire sauce
•baking powder
•canned cake frosting
•chocolate bars
•regular beer, ale and lager
•baked beans
•sauces, marinades, salad dressing
•specialty prepared mustards
•cooking spray
•baking powder
•soups, broths, bouillon cubes
•candies, chocolates, chocolate bars, licorice
•malt vinegar

fortunately, we usually get our burgers and hot dogs from the butcher, and I am careful about checking potato chips after the poisoning that happened last year.
but there is gluten in MALT VINEGAR.???!! my favorite thing ever??? :(

The lesson is that we need to always always check everything that we put into our bodies and not become lazy and think we are more aware about our food than we are.

Sigh.
goodbye vinegar.
