Hi,   I have 2 things I have been pondering...

1.  David, you mention Marmite is a nono for sugar - can you clarify for me if you are referring to Marmite - as produced in Australia.  I use Marmite, but it is sent to me from the UK (thanks Mum) and the ingrediants are v similar to vegemite...?  The 2 are different in taste. Thanks!

And secondly, I have been making things like cheese scones for the kids for morning tea - but i am still a bit unsure as to whether flour is ok..? Can anyone clarify please!

Thanks,

Jo

Hello Joanna

Australian Marmite is a no no, here is the Website with the ingredients and Nutritional information list:http://www.sanitarium.com.au/products/spreads/marmite 

It contains 11% sugar which is very high whereas Vegemite only contains 2.2% sugar and we try to keep below 3% of sugar in any product.

Any flour is ok, flour contains no sugar or fructose.

cheers Freda

You are quite right about the marmite - i went to the UK marite website and looked up the ingredients which are clearly listed - no sugar!  It's great when you find a favourite snack that you can have, and I'm finding that there are lots of them.  (Peanut butter on buttered toast is one of mine.)

Good luck and keep going!
