[QUOTE="Lil, post: 655811, member: 17309"] We had a long talk about butter with respect to the trans fat issue too, since virtually ALL shortenings and solid margarines have trans fat. Crisco has trans fat! I had NO idea! That means anything cooked with shortening - pie crust and most commercial bakery items - will have trans fat! But butter is high in saturated fats and that is bad for folks like Jabber and me, who have a family history of cholesterol problems. Both of my parents had bypass surgery and died of heart problems, his mom has had the plaque cleaned from the arteries in her neck twice. So lower the saturated fat is a must. Coconut oil is actually worse than butter for saturated fat. Dietician said not to use it because, although people are arguing that it's okay because it's a plan...it's STILL saturated fat and there's NO evidence it's somehow exempt because coconuts are plants. Still, there is the "spreadable" butter now, that's mixed with canola oil. She suggested that in place of all butter or solid shortenings. :rofl:I can't believe no one commented on that back when he posted it! LOL!!! [/QUOTE]
