you. Same with eggs.Much more healthy than the highly refined, cooked, and filtered
vegetable oils and the highly processed margarines.TC

Marlon Brando in /Last Tango in Paris/ managed to put a stick of butter
to good use. But, margarine would have done just as well. 🙁 -

You decide, it's your carotid artery.

See my posts to the thread entitled, "Is Coconut Oil Healthful?"
It is true that eggs are high in cholesterol, so you need to boil them,
which keeps the cholesterol from being oxidized. Only oxidized
cholesterol can do you harm. It appears that the people who don't
understand this are deficient in basic knowledge of biochemistry,
because the evidence is there, and has been available to them for
several years now. -

: You decide, it's your carotid artery.I agree with George. Choose a good quality (soft) margarine that does not
contain hydrogenated fats and no transfats (read the lable). You can consume
1-4 eggs a week but preferably no more.--

My wife bakes pumpkin custard with egg whites. We
give the yolks to our dogs who love them. We also
hard boil eggs. When I eat one, I eat the white part
and give the yolk to Greta (poodle) or Emmy (mixed-
breed). This makes me happy and them happy. I
eat about six egg whites a day.George

Butter : sturated fat
Margarine : trans fat
BOTH can raise total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol.
Just try minimizing both intakes.

are other fats that have a higher percent of saturated fats. I use some
butter for flavor and for corn on the cob, but the two of us together
use less than a pound a year. I don't use margarine. I do use vegetable
oils in small amounts and find spray on canola oil a nice convenience.
I do use sesame butter and other nut butters as a replacement for
shortening.Eggs are a good source of nutrients with the whites containing no fat.
The yolks have fat of which 40% is saturated. The yolks contain many
vitiamins, so it is a good idea to eat a few (3-4) a week. So just
throw away half of the yolks to keep your saturated fat and cholesterol
down.Egg have a protein efficacy of 93.7%, making them one of the best
sources of protein.Be sure to cook your eggs until they aren't runny to kill any
pathogenic bacteria.--

Flourishing. We take into account the egg yolks
they eat in the rest of their diet. Over-all, they don't
get as much sat fat as most canines. They are also
on mild calorie restriction diets. -

There are some margarine-like soft spreads that
don't have trans fats. Personally, I don't eat them,
but that's because I get my essential fatty acids
from other sources.George

That makes a very delicious sandwich if you season it with some herb or
garlic and top it with some other sliced vegetables like sweet pepper or
tomato.--

poultry feed resulting in eggs with high omega-3 content.--

BOTH can raise total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol. Once you get beyond the paranoia of these Kooks, trans fat lowers HDL.
Personally, I have not eaten either butter or margarine in decades.
Nor, do I particularly miss them.The whole notion of rubbing a slab of fat over a slice of bread or on a
baked potato is rather a bizarre custom to begin with.I rather like red or 'new potatoes.' And, they are quite tasty all by
themselves when properly cooked.Who says so? I do. 🙂
