tamxocolf Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I thought I was complaint as the shopping list indicates all tea. I just noticed the herbal tea I have contains soy and sulphites??? I has my 1st cup on day 8, 1 on day 9 and 1 on day 10. Today is day 11 and I was getting ready to have a cup and just happen to look at ingredients, which I honestly hadn't before because it said all Tea on the shopping list. Oh no!! Why would herbal tea have these and should I restart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted April 19, 2016 Moderators Share Posted April 19, 2016 Read this article to help you decide whether or not to start over. For anything, you must read ingredients. When the shopping list says all teas, it means in general that tea is okay, but it's still your responsibility to make sure a particular tea doesn't contain any ingredient that's not allowed. Same for almonds, or frozen or canned vegetables, or even meats (which may have broth or other solution added to make them more moist, and those can contain soy or other off-plan ingredients, even if you think you're just buying raw meat).

madness Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I had no idea that herbal tea had anything other than herbal tea until I joined the forum on day 8 or so. I drink a LOT of it. I tore through my cabinets and fortunately discovered that all of mine are, in fact, just herbal tea. Phew. I buy so few packaged foods and thought I was good at ingredient lists. But somethings you just assume! Can't do that here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamxocolf Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 I feel that because I do have digestive issues that I should restart. So..from Day 11 to Day 1!! lol I am ok with that though because the real reason I started this was to figure out what is going on with my body (and to hopefully lose a couple pounds). I will be checking ALL labels from here on out!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen_Suep Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I have had herbal teas in the past that have added grains or use stevia. Definitely double check any time you buy something packaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
