Does anything stand out to anyone here that could be potentially problematic in this granola?

ROLLED OATS*, PEA PROTEIN CRISPS* (PEA PROTEIN*, RICE FLOUR*), BROWN RICE SYRUP*, CANE SUGAR*, OAT FLOUR*, HIGH OLEIC SUNFLOWER OIL*, NATURAL FLAVORS, CASHEWS*, MACADAMIA NUTS, COCOA BUTTER*, SEA SALT, VANILLA EXTRACT*, SUNFLOWER LECITHIN, MIXED TOCOPHEROLS (ANTIOXIDANT).

ALLERGEN STATEMENT

CONTAINS CASHEWS AND MACADAMIA NUTS. MAY CONTAIN PEANUTS, OTHER TREE NUTS, MILK, AND SOY. MAY CONTAIN NUTSHELL FRAGMENTS.

It’s called Clif Energy Granola Macadamia Nut Flavor. I tried some that a family member had over the holiday and tolerated it well. It doesn’t seem to have any A as far as I can tell. I’m sure I won’t be eating it every day but it would be awesome to have some different snack options to take to work.

I am not sure about the pea protein - is it green?  There may still be a tiny bit of carotenoids in it but according to  Garrett Smith, of all the colors, green maybe the least problematic (and there probably isn''t much left in a protein powder).   Cashews might not have vA in them but also according to G. Smith they have a compound in them that may interfere with detox but maybe if you don't eat much then ok?   And lastly, again according to G. Smith, chocolate has stearic acid (in the cocoa butter of chocolate?) which is also a problem for detox.  I can't remember hearing anything about vanilla but I might suspect that as having carotenoids too.  Sorry can't be more definitive, this is the wild west of nutrition we are exploring!

Here is a list of the foods I have been using for the last month, and seeing great improvements.

lean beef, lean chicken/turkey, egg whites, non fatty fish, some nuts
coconut oil, olive oil, butter(small amounts for butyric acid)
bread, pasta, rice, potato, black beans, oatmeal, cornmeal, non-fortified cereals
cauliflower, turnip, celeriac, parsnip, onion, garlic
banana, grapes, apples, pineapple, (thinking about adding:  raisins, dates, blueberries, raspberries, strawberry, cherry)
Apple juice, grape juice, coconut milk(non-fortified)
Sugars, maple, honey, brown/white

 

Dr. Smiths mega list seems to be paywalled for his clients, could everyone add their daily staples here for other ideas.

Thanks Orion. Two things I have occasionally that I didn’t notice on your list but seem ok are pears and lemonade.

I really like dried fruits like apple and raisins to carry with me as a snack.

This is Bella-I couldn’t log in from my phone.

Thanks Bella, I do have homemade pears in jars, will have to crack some open.  Lemonade will be a nice treat!

You’re welcome.

I like getting ideas about what is working for other people.

I just bought some Erewhon crispy rice cereal (unfortified) and thought I’d try making something like rice crispy treats.

Orion,

I think the only thing I eat that isn't on your list is sunflower seeds/sunbutter.  I spread sunbutter on my bananas for breakfast and snacks, tastes realy good.  It might be yummy mixed in with oatmeal too, I'll have to try that sometime!  Forgot, I drink black coffee too.

I would recommend paying Dr Smith (as I do) for his time and expertise in this area and good on him for “paywalling” his list of foods/diet.

We all need to start investing financially in those that are actually trying to do good things for themselves and others simultaneously.

Every time we spend money we cast a vote for the type of world we want to live in.

If more people put their money into this and those that can help we would ALL be much better off.

If you want to combat “Big Pharma” I suggest you start to do so.

All is fine if you are from country where you earn like in USA, if not it's starting getting really expensive. I'm from Poland and for me all consultations and similar stuff are like at last 4 times more expensive relatively to my earnings than for you.
