I thought FOS was derived from fruit. You got them turned around. I had wondered about the suitability of the diastatic malt for me as I thought it came from barley, and I'm better off without that too I think. Deb, Stevia is a whole food since it is the leaf of a South American plant.
Vegetable glycerine is highly refined.
Please get Beth's book and you will understand so much more about whole foods. Thanks for getting everyone straightened out about the confusion. Here is the way I made MY diastatic malt. I tok out 4-5 of my window screens and washed them very carefully. I spread a layer of organic wheatberries on the screens.
