I have been eyeing that for awhile and have been wondering the same thing...

have you tried the corn pasta from there? I use that a lot, it's pretty good!

That's funny! I don't know about the acidity stuff, I don't bother with that aspect, it seems to stressful to me. I eat popcorn at jest once a day if not more plus the corn pasta often. I can't worry too much about too many things, thus process us crazy enough to me, kwim? ; )

lol... I was actually thinking of you when I was at TJ looking at the corn pasta. I have not tried it. I seem to be dealing very well with all these carbs, so maybe I will give it a try next time I am there. Is corn acidic or not though? My pH just isn't dropping even with 3-4 diet c/f cokes. I am going to give it a couple of weeks though and check back. I was about 6.5 today.

REGULAR corn is acidic. corn that has been treated with lye (hominy, corn tortillas) is alkaline.

I really put zero stock into the acid/alkaline diet stuff. I can all but guarantee ya, people who eat a diet of nothing but corn tortillas all day long will have more GIRLS than boys because their diets are lacking in a zillion other nutrients.

Well I bought some pasta at Trader Joes that was higher fiber but I was just looking at the package and they are using Oat Fiber crap! I know we are supposed to stay away from Oat because of T factors. If it is just Oat Fiber and not Oat Flour is there a difference? Fiber tends to leave your system so I wasn't sure.

I cannot honestly say because the T-raising stuff in oats is in the "avenocosides" and I can't tell if that's in just the fiber or not. It prob. depends on how the fiber was processed. My gut instinct would be that it's ok but just can't say for sure.
