I say more good reasons to love L.B.C, not only are you revising original recipes. You're also making them more healthier for you, while saving money in the long run.

As part of my time growing up I was told that Margarine was just melted Plastic, while I even had to research paper on it. As I truly don't believe that whole melt plastic theory, what I do believe is this margarine is made from vegetable oils, so it contains unsaturated "good" fats — polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. These types of fats help reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or "bad," cholesterol when substituted for saturated fat. Which you have/will read upon on the box it's self. Now I am not a gullible reader but when I am told a thing a two about food, which I will consume. I will look it up and find the truth myself, so let's get back to this whole Margarine story. As butter, on the other hand, is made from animal fat, so it contains more saturated fat. While not all margarine's are created equal — some margarine's contain trans fat. So the more solid the margarine, the more trans fat it contains. So stick margarine's usually have more trans fat than tub margarine's does. Now talking trans fats and saturated fat, as what do they help increase. They help with blood cholesterol levels and the risk of heart disease. In addition, trans fat lowers high-density lipoprotein (HDL), or "good," cholesterol levels. So when you're out shopping, tell yourself "No" to the stick and reach for soft or liquid margarine instead. It's you're health so continue to take care of it, and thank goodness I debunked the Myth on Margarine.
