The tutor compares two brands of margarine in terms of fat content.<\/h1>\n

I’ve recently been suggested to (possibly) have high cholesterol. I haven’t checked it yet, but have begun to research the possible impact of certain foods. (Read my post here<\/a> for more details.)<\/p>\n

Coincidentally, two margarines are in the fridge: Becel<\/em> and I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!<\/em> Both are by Unilever (see my post here<\/a>). Comparing them reveals, perhaps, two different philosophies towards cardiovascular health.<\/p>\n

Per 2 tsp (10g), Becel<\/em> has 8g of fat, of which 1g is saturated; Becel<\/em> claims no trans fat. Once again, per 2 tsp (10g), I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!<\/em> has only 6g of fat: 1.5g is saturated, while 0.1g is trans.<\/p>\n

Among people who talk about diet regarding cholesterol and heart health, there are, perhaps, two points of view: (1)that saturated and trans fats should be avoided; (2) that, generally, people eat too much fat. Becel seems aligned specifically with the first idea, I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter, with the second.<\/p>\n
