Why am I so against cooking with butter?
See and compare the content of a cup of butter and olive oil.
Worse than the high calories is saturated fat and cholesterol content in it. Cooking a meal is everyday thing so as the eating a meal. If we eat our buttered meal everyday routinely, we are creating our circulatory systems (arteries) into a buttered one too.
Do you know what is a blocked artery?
Simply put, they are the arteries filled with cholesterol and blood clot.
What do the doctors mean, “you have a blocked artery”
If you find a blocked artery in one area of your body, that mean you have high chance of having multiple arteries blocked in different part of the body. Example, if you have blocked arteries in heart, you might as well have a blocked arteries in the brain, in the carotid arteries (larger Neck arteries), leg arteries, arteries going in to the kidneys, retinal arteries (eye arteries), etc.
What can we do about it? How can we prevent it?
Simple! Do not consume high cholesterol containing food: such as butter, cheese and cream.
Here are the devils to the arteries! So to our health!
Cheese:
Generally, all kinds of cheese have high content of saturated fat and cholesterol except mozzarella, ricotta, and cottage cheese. (But do look into the food label for detail, different preparation can change the individual content). Make sure you choose low fat or no fat version of the mozzarella, ricotta and cottage cheese.
Butter:
Generally, all butter are high is the saturated fat. You can use “I cannot believe it is not butter”. Again use sparingly, they do still have high calories.
Cream
Most of the cream whipped, sour cream are calories rich extra topping. Each tbsp will give you about 10-20 calories and use sparingly. Heavy cream, half and half are high cholesterol, artery-clogging devils! Stay away from it.
Cooking with butter does not taste better either. Let’s say no to cooking with butter for clean arteries. Replace your cooking base to olive or canola oil
