Until a couple of years ago there was no such thing as sugar-free syrup. Sugar was the magic ingredient that made liquids thick and elastic. Artificial sweeteners didn’t do it. Then, a year or so ago, zero-calorie syrups began appearing on food store shelves with cellulose gum listed on the labels right after flavorings..
The second step is a Review session where people are asked to look at the appropriateness of their reactions. During this session they will come to appreciate that they have a choice about how they react. This is an important moment; they have a cognition. In other words they begin to understand the effects and how they occurred. This brings further relief because they realize there may be better solutions available.The third step is a Repair session where they are asked to analyze what happened and how they responded before looking at some of the alternative solutions. Once they have explored and compared the alternatives they will recognize that there are better solutions and the choice is theirs.
If you’d like to make your own calorie-free syrup that flows like those from the supermarket, you can’t do it with cornstarch or fruit pectin. They do a great job thickening jams and puddings, but they produce syrups with the texture of thin pudding. Not exactly what you want for pancakes. Pancake syrup should have the viscosity of motor oil.
So there you have it. The secrets for making your own no-calorie syrup that flows like those from the supermarket, with very little cost, effort, or time.
But, is cellulose gum safe for human consumption? As a one-time public relations consultant for a Canadian cellulose company that manufactured toilet paper, I wondered about that myself, and started making enquiries.
Most importantly, for anyone wanting to make their own no-calorie syrups, cellulose gum makes it easy to vary the viscosity of your syrup from maple-syrup thin, to honey thick. For the family mechanic, think motor oil grades SAE 10, 20, 30, etc. This visco-versatility makes cellulose gum ideal for home-made calorie-free syrups, ice-cream, puddings, powdered drinks, and even soy sausage.
When you get your gum Ray Ban Sunglass On Sale, put 12 ounces of clean cold water into your belnder or mixer and turn it on, to a slow grind. Add a cup of Splenda no-calorie sweeter, a teaspoon of orange flavoring, and a drop of red coloring. Remove the glass port on the lid if there is one, otherwise remove the lid itself. Pour a teaspoon of cellulose gum very, very, slowly into the churning liquid. When all of the powder has been added, let the mixing continue for another 30 seconds. The syrup should be quite thick by then. Pour it into a syrup container for table use.
A large importer of cellulose gum, alias CarboxyMethyl Cellulose, alias CMC, pointed out that the gum is a physiologically inert, water soluble plant-fiber that exceeds FDA standards for use in foods and pharmaceuticals. It is tasteless, colorless, harmless, and nutritionally neutral, and is used extensively in countless products, including textiles, paints, ceramics Replica Ray Ban Sunglasses, pesticides, wall-paper paste, envelope sealants, charcoal briquettes, and fire-proof bricks. And, of course, food, drugs, and cosmetics.
The problem is that cellulose gum is not generally available as a retail product and is only available in bulk to high-volume purchasers. Because I am an author and talk about cellulose gum in my new book, the No-diet Diet, one CMC importer agreed to sell me a ‘small’ fifty-pound bag of it – enough to make 6,500 sixteen ounce bottles of syrups. So I have lots of it in my larder and will happily give a free sample to anyone who sends me a stamped self-addressed envelope.
Tyler: Your book discusses the “restablization method” in four steps. Would you please tell us what that re-stabilization method is?Jim: Beforehand there will have been a trigger event that has become the basis of some discomfort. The first step is a Recap session in which people are asked to describe what happened from their perspectives and to explore their reactions. The process of recalling and talking about the event and their responses to it will bring some relief and prepare them for the next step.Again, they will experience a sense of relief because they have now identified the better solutions including, perhaps, the best solution.
If you study the ingredient list, you’ll quickly realize that all you need to make your own calorie-free syrup is water, sweetener, flavoring Replica Oakley Sunglasses, and a thickener. The water must be pure, the sweetener artificial, the flavoring optional, and use cellulose gum as a thickener. Mix them all together in a blender and you’ve got a bottle of delicious syrup that looks, tastes, and flows just like Aunt Jemima’s, but without the slightest trace of calories.
Cellogen is also excellent for fruit purees, puddings, frozen deserts, powdered instant beverages, and anything else that tastes a little watery and needs some extra body. A couple of good examples are hot cocoa made with skimmed milk instead of whole milk or cream, and fresh crushed strawberries sweetened with artificial sweetener. Cellogen makes them rich in texture without adding calories.
Cellogen syrups are so easy and quick to make, you will probably find yourself experimenting with flavors. Some of them will be so good, you’ll want to make lots of it. However, don’t make too much at one time. If you do, you will end up with a refrigerator full of so much syrup you’ll have to open a retail store to get rid of it. You are better off making a small new batch every morning or two. The whole process takes less than two minutes and you can have a fresh new flavor before you have to turn the pancakes.
