something to ponder on...

I write about anything under the sun. I could talk about music, gadgets, movies, food, places, even my life. I could really talk about anything. And these could be things that you could ponder on.

Margarine is Bad for us

I love sauteed food like mixed veggies. I also love bakes mussels and grilled mussels. I just love eating although it doesn't show with my slim body. But I wonder what the restaurants put on these food that I love to eat. Are they sauteing the veggies in butter or margarine?

Now that I have learned about the negative effects or margarine, it does matter to me. But there are more than my previous post about butter and margarine.

Here's more for margarine:

  • very high in trans fatty acids thus triple risk of coronary heart disease
  • increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol)
  • lowers HDL cholesterol (the good cholesterol)
  • increases the risk of cancers by up to five folds
  • lowers quality of breast milk
  • decreases immune response
  • decreases insulin response

Here is the part that is very interesting!

  • Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC...
  • margarine is hydrogenated

So, I hope it now does matter to you if the food you is eat is with margarine...
