Hostess light cupcakes
That is what I thought at first so I went and got fresh strawberries from my
mom's garden, washed them, and she doesn't use chemicals then froze them, with and without greens, bought benadryl, after they were frozen I tried them and they still bothered me, so whatever chemical changes there are in the freezing process is what bothers me, something in the berries... but my body is weird, I have no trouble eating canned pineapple but fresh tears up my stomach... like I said very weird... one theory put forth by an eye doctor is that due to the amount of medication I have taken for my eyes that it has screwed with my blood chemistry, Lee Laura wrote in message ... Concerning your reaction to frozen fruits-is it possible that there are added chemicals/preservatives used in their freezing process that you are reacting to? The bag of frozen berries from Costco does not list ingredients so I can't check for you. "Stormmee" wrote in message ... I meant they aren't currently life threatening, for me, and that is only because I am so careful... like today, we were in Wal-Mart, THE SAMPLE LADY was there, she had coke plus... DH and I had just been discussing this as something for us to sell, so we rushed right up to the table, the lady automatically started to hand us the little sample cup... DH stepped back and reached for the nutritional facts... had aspertain in it so not for me or him... the e nice thing was the paper there specifically said to read the whole thing if you are prone to allergies... and if you can tolerate the sweetener it had zinc and magnesium added I think, not a bad product for a soda. and to also let you know just how careful you should be if you are prone to allergies, I have started noticing a bit of reaction to other berries besides strawberries when they are frozen, so I don't eat them out at all anymore unless I am sure they are fresh, Lee Willow Herself wrote in message ... Not to be a doom caller Lee, but allergies that have always been mild can turn deadly any time... besides, if things make you swell and makes it hard to breathe, that sounds awefully like anaphylexia (however you spell that stuff) don't mess with allergies lady! Will~ "Stormmee" wrote in message ... Honestly, I have developed enough coping mechanisms that I am not really interested in spending the time, let alone the money for the testing... even at their worst, they generally aren't life threatening so trial and error and major avoidance seems to work, I have read menopause can trigger/change allergies, Lee Laura wrote in message ... I think allergy testing has come a long way since the 80's. It might be worth getting tested again. You may have developed new allergies too. There are no allergies in my family history but my sister recently discovered that she is allergic to eggs and shellfish which as a kid and young adult she could eat without any problems. I don't know if it could be menopausal related (she's 54) or not but the timing is about right. "Stormmee" wrote in message ... have never been formally tested, the one time I went to the allergist I tested no allergies for 65 things. I went to a clinic at Barnes hospital in St. Louis... after the test I realized the allergist was uncomfortable... then he says you look so familiar and I know I haven't seen you in my office... I said no but you have seen both of my parents, I give him their names he leaves and returns in ten minutes... and says...:1. your father has multiple allergies and so does your mother. 2. you are sitting here with a dog guide and have indicated you smoke. 3. Your histamine patch show normal. 4. given your genetics and lifestyle you should show positive but aren't, I can do "elite" testing but it is around $10k *back in the 80s* so I said no thanks... then he says take benadryl for 2 weeks every day before you go to bed. then eliminate every single thing you have an overt reaction to and then after six months add one back at a time and see what happens... I tell you all of this because I am rambling and I am in fact to lots of things... odd things like I can eat fresh berries including strawberries, but if I eat even a single berry that is frozen I swell and have difficulty breathing... recently I seemed to have a reaction to black berries that were frozen so I will have to not do that again.. Lee, with a list for migraines. a list for hives. Alist for breathing difficulty, and a list for puking Laura wrote in message ... Have you ever been tested for food allergies? You seem to have multiple foods that your body reacts to in negative ways. "Stormmee" wrote in message ... it doesn't make me crave more, but I am learning my body really doesn't like it, not even in splenda form, Lee Laura wrote in message ... Unfortunately, they are 3 small cupcakes. More of a tease. I won't buy them anymore. Plus sugar causes cravings so I try and avoid it if I can. "Stormmee" wrote in message ... I kinda wish you hadn't posted this... not a chocolate eater but that does sound good. Lee Laura wrote in message ... "ahmward" wrote in message . .. From: "Laura" Subject: Diet in (semi) crisis - Calories, Exercise, Points and what to do now... Date: Friday, April 20, 2007 4:05 PM Quick question: does anybody here know how many ww points the hostess 100 calorie packs are? I believe they are 2 points. BTW, a general rule of thumb is 1 point per 50 calories. Here is the exact formula: points= [calories + (4 * fat grams) - (10 * fiber grams)] / 50 with a maxium of 4 fiber grams allowed. Check the product information for these 100 calorie packs. My WW friend says the chocolate ones have more fiber, and are just 1 point per package! You are correct. I had the Golden ones here but not the chocolate. I googled "hostess cupcakes" and found the NI online. Chocolate: 100 cal/3g fat/5g fiber = 1.4 points===1 pt Golden: 100 cal/3g fat/3g fiber = 1.6 points===2 pt Carrot Cake: 100 cal/3g fat/3g fiber = 1.6 points===2 pt |

From my earlier post: Chocolate: 100 cal/3g fat/5g fiber = 1.4 points===1 pt Golden: 100 cal/3g fat/3g fiber = 1.6 points===2 pt Carrot Cake: 100 cal/3g fat/3g fiber = 1.6 points===2 pt I count the choc ones as 2 points. Look the Hostess 100 cal snacks were written up in adrants.com which is a prominent marketing and advertising news blog. The blog comments on a micro-site that Hostess made to promote these new snacks. In this site you can get a napkin holder to serenade your favorite flavor. It's a little silly but it is sort of funny too... http://www.adrants.com/2007/03/100-c...mma-betwee.php |
