❗❗HOPE WE KNOW THIS IS NOT A “BUTTER”.
❤❤MY BREAD AND BUTTER GENG!!
ANYONE WITH ME??? OR I SHOULD FACE FRONT AS USUAL.
❗❗I SEE PEOPLE WORRY A LOT ABOUT CHOLESTEROL THAT THEY HAVE EVEN DECIDED TO GIVE UP EGGS BECAUSE ONE DOCTOR TOLD THEM EGG YOLK CONTAINS CHOLESTEROL WHICH IS TRUE..
❗❗HOWEVER, THE DOCTOR TELLING THEM THIS CANT EVEN DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN LDL AND HDL.
❗❗THESE PEOPLE DON’T EVEN KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN “BUTTER ” AND “MARGARINE.
❗❗INSTEAD OF WORRYING ABOUT CHOLESTEROL IN EGGS, BE MORE WORRIED ABOUT YOUR FAVOURITE ‘BUTTER’ THATS ACTUALLY A “MARGARINE.
❗❗90% OF THE SPREADABLES WE CONSUME IN THE NAME OF BUTTER ARE ” MARGARINE WHICH ARE MADE OUT OF HYDROGENATION PROCESS TO STABILISE THEM AT ROOM TEMPERATURE.
❗❗ONE OF THE BY PRODUCTS OF HYDROGENATION OF SEED OILS IS TRANS FAT WHICH RAISES BAD CHOLESTEROL AND CLOG OUR ARTERIES.
✅IT’S EASIER TO MAKE AND WHY IT’S MORE AFFORDABLE THAN BUTTER AS ITS MADE OUT OF COMBINATION OF SEED OILS.
✅ALSO HIGH IN SATURATED FAT .
✅THE MAIN INGREDIENTS IN THESE SPREADABLE ARE PALM OIL , CANOLA OIL AND RAPESEED OIL.
❗PICK IT UP FROM A STORE AND READ THE NUTRITIONAL LABELS. IF IT DOESN’T CONTAIN CREAM THEN ITS NOT A BUTTER.
✅✅BUTTER SHOULD CONTAIN 1 OR 2 INGREDIENTS WHICH ARE HEAVY OR DOUBLE CREAM AND SALT IF YOU WANT SALTED BUTTER.
Margarine consists of a water-in-fat emulsion, with tiny droplets of water dispersed uniformly throughout a fat phase in a stable solid form. While butter is made from the butterfat of milk, modern margarine is made through a more intensive processing of refined vegetable oil and water.
❗❗SO PLEASE CONSUME WITH CAUTION AS IT’S HIGH IN TRANS FAT BECAUSE BLUE BAND IS A MARGARINE NOT BUTTER.
🤦♀️🤦♀️HOPE I AM SAFE. 🏃♀️🏃♀️😀😀😀.
