"... [M]odified atmosphere packaging (MAP) ... involves either actively or passively controlling or modifying the atmosphere surrounding the product within a package made of various types and/or combinations of films ... Edible films may consist of four basic materials:lipids, resins, polysaccharides and proteins ... The most common plasticizer used to cast edible films is food-grade polyethylene glycol, which is used to reduce film brittleness ... Gelatin is ... extracted from the boiled crushed bones, connective tissues, organs and some intestines of animals such as domesticated cattle, chicken, and pigs."
I came to find this because over a period of about 6 months I bought and ate romaine and got sick to my stomach after eating it... as well as had an insulin attack.
the form of diabetes I suffered from is spearheded by low blood sugar and insulin attack when I eat sugar in any form at al,l including carbohydrates. no need to list what insulin attack does to the body.
so I went through a process of elimination. how in the hell could romaine do that to me. I used to eat it all the time safely. I used to grow it in my home garden at my house.
I cant eat carbohydrates so I fill myself up on the green veggies I can eat...those that do not trigger insulin attack. I can eat a whole, huge romaine at one go. and thats what I did.
after the first romaine with the trouble.. I bought some again recently with the same effect from just one leaf. that is when I was certain it was the romaine.
I was really pissed for the illness it engendered. and also I do not want to diminish my diet any further. there is a very limited list of food I can eat safely from.
so looking for an answer I found this above here...MAP..atmospeheric packaging... a film of sugar, made up of nauseating ingredients which makes one sick to the stomach, and triggers insulin attack.
and the trouble is, it is found even on ORGANIC ROMAINE.
