What’s Your Spread?

May 16, 2007 · 4 Comments

I’m currently waiting for my next group meeting to start, and I was just looking up more facts for our assignment.

Anyways. I came across an article which is saying that butter is actually better for you, so I thought I’d share with you what I have found over the past few months while doing this assignment.

Well the main thing is after reading all of these reports and stuff, apparently you will be better off with butter. this is mostly based on the taste benefits. As you would have guessed, i’ve become more conscious of the spread we have been using at home. We had margarine in the fridge before, and then we bough butter. You can really taste the difference! I always assumed because one is a substitute for the other, they are both suppose to taste the same. While butter retains that cream taste, the margarine has this oil taste. X6

As for those spreads which are suppose to lower your cholesterol, according to an article by Choice, they do work, but you need to ingest about 25g a day for it to have any affect. :S that’s a lot…….

*Edit* Here’s a recipe to make your own butter. :)
