Most of us know that hot dogs really are not that good for us. The candida diet warns against consuming hot dogs due to the preservatives it contains, particularly sodium nitrate. Most hot dogs contain sodium nitrates which some research suggests increases the risk of cancer. So can we possibly find a hot dog that does not contain sodium nitrates or other icky stuff? I have found such a hot dog and while I believe they are a little pricey Applegate Farms Uncured Hot Dogs are what I feed my family. These hot dogs contain no nitrites and are gluten and casein free. They are available in organic and non-organic and in beef, turkey and chicken varieties. Oh yeah and they taste pretty good too, but I do prefer the beef over the turkey and have never tried the chicken. I am happy that I found these and can enjoy an occassional hot dog on the grill without cheating on the candida diet. This does mean eating them without a bun but I don’t mind. I have only found these at Whole Foods and the price ranges from $3.99 – $5.99.
