EATING TO YOUR HEART CONTENT: IS THERE LIFE AFTER CHOLESTEROL? MARGARINE AND EGGS

We've bad news for margarine lovers. If you've switched from butter to margarine, you've swapped a natural, easily digestible fat with all the vital compensating nutrients for a far more deadly vegetable oil spread. A Dutch study shows that "transmonounsaturated fatty acids" are formed when polyunsaturated vegetable oil is converted into margarine that is solid or semi-solid at room temperature. If you cook with this processed fat - heat it, fry with it, or bake with it - there will be a chemical action between the polyunsaturates and the oxygen in the air that forms a polymer. Plastics are polymers. So is varnish and shellac. Think about this next time you're tempted to reach for any unnatural 'health' spread.
If you've given up eggs in favor of "egg-beaters", the yolks on you! How absurd to fall for the fiction that what Fleischrnann's put in a box is healthier than what Mother Nature put in a shell.
The only time eggs get a good press is at Easter. The other 364 days in the year, they're maligned beyond all reason. We thought we were the only ones to remember eggs used to be called the "perfect food", until we heard the noted nutritionist Dr. Robert C. Atkins say so, too.
Dr. Atkins, whose unorthodox approach to diet and disease, often ruffles the feathers of the medical establishment takes the holistic view. If all doctors treated patients as he does, the drug industry would go bust, since he prescribes only 5% of the amount of drugs as his orthodox colleagues, treating patients with the same ailments, and gets better results!
As one of the more learned of the 'pro egg' physicians, Dr. Atkins explains: "Eggs contain a considerable amount of lecithin a cholesterol-lowering agent. They are an almost perfect protein."
