After the jump, Simply Delicious gets into discussing saturated vs. unsaturated fat and into some light comparison of butter, margarine, and oil. Keep in mind that these cards are from the 1980s, and that thoughts and theories on nutrition have changed somewhat over time.
*Note: All substitutions should be used at a 1:1 ratio, unless otherwise noted. This means you should use equal amounts of your non-dairy substitute when swapping out for a dairy ingredient. For example, if a recipe calls for 1c milk, you should substitute 1c non-dairy milk.*
*Butter substitutes are among the only milk substitutes I do not always recommend using at a 1:1 ratio. The oil content in Dairy free margarine can be much higher than in actual butter. When cooking you can often get away with equal amounts of substitute, but baking can be a lot trickier. If a recipe calls for melted butter, use equal amounts of Dairy-free margarine. If a recipe calls for softened or cold butter, use slightly less than the amount called for. The exact amount you use will depend on what exactly you are baking. Cookie recipes, you can usually get away with 75%-100% of the amount called for. Same with cakes. In something that has a greater ratio of oil to dry ingredients (such as brownies), I recommend starting with half as much butter as the recipe calls for, and increasing in the future, if necessary. Unfortunately, this type of substitution can be highly variable, and will take some degree of trial and error.
Hi, there! My name is Lacey, and I am the creator of
foodallergymamabear.com. As the name implies, I am a food allergy mom, and it is my goal to help other food allergy parents by sharing allergy-friendly recipes, baking/cooking tips, and articles related to life with food allergies.
Apparently I was told that stevia isn't allowed because of the way it is harvested, etc. However, if I grow it (I have several stevia plants) and eat the leaves raw or boil the leaves in water with my tea, would that be allowed?
Also is vegan margarine allowed? Most margarine has milk in it, but what about the vegan olive oil and rapeseed oil spreads? Plan to start whole30 in a few days and want to have everything worked out before then.
On the vegan margarine, assuming you're doing a Whole30 modified for a vegan way of eating, you'd need to check ingredients for compliance. For example, there was a recent discussion of Earth Balance, which would be out due to corn, plus canola oil is allowed for dining out only. -earth-balance-butter-soy-free/
I'm not really familiar with vegan margarine. If you mean something like Earth Balance, it's got soybean oil, which is a no, canola oil which is allowed only so that people can eat in restaurants but is not recommended to be used at home, natural flavor derived from corn would be a no, and pea protein would be a no.
I meant make my own margarine- part avocado oil, part sea salt, part coconut oil (which naturally solidifies at room temp) and a tiny bit sesame seed oil. Mixing it together and blend and you get a nice, healthy fat spread that goes on more or less like margarine.
Thought so, wanted to check. Thanks. I am going out to get stuff to make my mayo tonight- eggs, mustard powder, light olive oil, lemons. None of the store bought stuff I found was any good, and I checked about 8 different mayos.
Circulating lipoproteins influence cardiovascular disease risk, and LDL is a particularly important one. Things that increase the number of LDL particles, and/or their total cholesterol cargo (called LDL cholesterol) tend to increase cardiovascular disease risk. The evidence supporting this is now extremely strong (1, 2).
Recent evidence suggests that the effect of dairy fat on LDL cholesterol depends heavily on the context in which the fat is delivered. Less refined forms of dairy such as yogurt, cheese, and cream have little effect on LDL cholesterol, even when they deliver the same amount of dairy fat as butter (8, 9, 10, 11)! Some research suggests that this is due to a protective substance in less refined dairy foods called the milk fat globule membrane, which is lost during the butter-making process (12).
The whole food heuristic is probably the simplest and most effective diet rule we have, and it suggests that whole sources of dairy should be healthier than butter. Research in the areas of cardiovascular disease and appetite control are increasingly supporting this prediction.
I also agree that in the optimization of food consumption, the best choices are whole foods. And in the specific case if fats, whole vegetable foods (avocado, walnuts, almonds, seeds, and olives) and oily fish among the best sources of fat. And I prefer them over unrefined olive oil.
Thanks, and I agree with your comment of choosing whole foods over olive oil. I offered olive oil as an alternative because I know many people will want to use some kind of added fat, but I think whole foods probably tend to be better than any added fat.
So what if they have the arrow of causation is backwards? What if damaged arteries leak cytokines that cause a slight increase in LDL that would account for the weak correlation of LDL with heart disease?
Your ref 12 is to a paper by Rosqvist et al. Their research used butter oil (ie. ghee) of 98.7% fat, not butter. The heating used to make butter oil from butter does remove the fat globule membrane that is in the butter. I suggest that this part of your argument against butter is therefore not valid.
It is not correct to state that producing butter eliminates the MFGM, though it does reduce it. This reduction may or may not be significant enough to make a substantial difference in health outcomes, or even blood parameters.
Where does homogenized milk fit in your continuum? It is less refined than butter, but more processed. Given the lose of the MFGM, I would place it near the butter end of the spectrum. We need to consider skim compared to whole as well.
why is a single parameter so important for butter? High cholesterol, and to some extent fairly high LDL, is associated with a longer life. The purpose of eating well is to live longer, not to avoid a particular type of death. The 2015 mega- meta-analysis can be found here
I wonder as to why Butter seems to be one of the only fats that mobilize my digestion and ensure a BM hours after consumption. Even in comparison to other high SFA oils like Coconut Oil. Being of British decent, I wonder if Butter is more in line with my genealogy and the diets of my ancestors.
A problem with the whole food heuristic is that we are eating foods we may not be so adapted to from an evolutionary point of view, including whole grains and dairy. Even low carb veggies isnt really consumed much by hunter gatherers. And for this reason sometimes a refined food can be better than a whole, or a whole food like cow milk or low carb veggies can be improved by adding other (refined) foods to make them more compatible with the requirement of the human species.
If you give human milk to a calf, it may well die due to the low level of protein, phosphorus and other nutrients, whereas if you give only cow milk to an infant it may also not grow well due to the high level of phosphorus and protein.
Likewise the lecithin/choline in egg yolks may make a fat rich diet much less harmful. Interestingly the human milk example above is very similar to traditional or Haagen Dazs ice cream which is typically composed of skimmed milk, cream, sugar/honey, egg yolks, fruits/berries and nuts. Our modern types of cheap ice cream with questionable ingredients may however be quite harmful.
It is worth noting that many of the people that try to lose weight or change their diet, are middle aged or older, of which probably the majority would have diabetes or pre-diabetes and likely not optimal kidney function (even if the blood test says theyre okay). Walter Kempner (1903-1997) used a very refined diet of mostly white rice and sucrose ( _diet), apparently with great success on thousands of people, deling with conditions like hypertension, kidney problems, diabetes and obesity, and the idea was that if the kidneys could be relieved of the burden of too much protein and electrolytes, they could function normally, and a host of health problems would improve. Today its common for people with kidney disease to reduce phosphorus down to 800-1000 mg and potassium to 2500-3000 mg, also sodium and protein. However, the type of diet many people adopt later in life with large quantities of whole grains, low fat dairy products, low carb veggies, and chicken breast, with very little sugar or fat, not even any potatoes or fruits, may well cause some serious problems down the road, even if the diet has some immediate positive effect on weight or other metrics, especially if the person has been acclimatized to a relatively refined diet from an early age.
