Subway v. Quiznos

When I ordered Subway's Italian BMT (Sliced Genoa salami, pepperoni
and roast beef instead of ham and lettuce only), I get headaches.

But with Quiznos' Classic Italian (Salami, pepperoni, capicola, ham,
mozzarella, lettuce, without tomato, red onion, black olives, Red Wine
Vinaigrette Dressing), I'm fine.

How come?

I don't know. Does Subway use MSG as a preservative?

Do you have problems with Subway's other sandwiches?

You may be allergic to one of the ingredients. Lunch meat is notorious for
having added ingredients. Or it could be a difference with the bread.

Maybe subway uses msg in their food and quiznos doesnt.

Does anything leap out at you there?

What are your BG's an hour after eating each?

Here's the American site: http://www.subway.com/applications/N...px?id=breadtop

whole wheat bread = 40 gr carb, 3 gr fiber

I have it myself occasionally with a veggie sandwich. No headaches
for me, but I'd bet that's from the additives to the meat.

It is alleged that Loretta Eisenberg claimed:

I was thinking that Subway uses nitrates in their meats. Take a look
here:

http://subway.com/subwayroot/MenuNut...gredients.aspx

BMT® MEATS: Genoa Salami: Pork, beef, salt, water, corn syrup,
dextrose, sugar, wine, sodium erythorbate, flavorings, sodium nitrate,
spices, garlic, lactic acid starter culture, sodium nitrite.
Pepperoni: Pork, beef, salt, dextrose, water, spices, corn syrup,
paprika, oleoresin of paprika, flavorings, sodium erythorbate, lactic
acid starter culture, sodium nitrite. Ham: ham (cured with water),
salt, dextrose, modified food starch (from corn), sodium phosphates,
sodium erythorbate, smoke flavoring, and sodium nitrite.

Looking at their chicken items, I see that they actually add "chicken
flavor" to their chickens. One says "chicken type flavor", whatever
that means.

Looks like Subway is off my menu.

Common problem.... comes from craning your neck up looking at the menu on
the wall.
