I Find It Hard To Believe That Ultra-Pasteurized ‘Light Cream’ Can Be This Healthy!

This nutritional label & the NUMBERS just don’t make sense to me!

Seems way, way too good to be TRUE.

I am now old enough to know that this is just too good to be TRUE.

NO WAY.

Yep, it has SOME fat — but it is NOT that bad.

YES, YES, YES — I know it is for a SINGLE TABLESPOON.

But, you see, fat is not my real — or PRIMARY — concern. I can get away with a fair amount of fat (& I do watch some of my fat intake).

It is CARBS that kill me — & do mean that quite literally. Carbs are killing me.

I have to watch my carbs — & yes, of late, I have cut back on my wine consumption.

Per this label, this cream has NO CARBS.

That can’t be.

Something is wrong. I need to look into this.

The New Nutritional Labels Will Be Of Little Help UNLESS Folks Are Educated As To The Link Between Sugar & Fat.

People just do NOT understand the link between fat & sugar (i.e., carbohydrates) particularly as to how it relates to cholesterol.

As a RARE individual with a NEGATIVE Cholesterol Risk Factor (i.e., my cholesterol-related risk factor is even BETTER THAN ZERO) I am kind of qualified to talk about this. Plus, I have spent the last 9 years controlling my carbs — & you can see the results. SMILE.

Totally contrary to what you might think & may have been led to believe over the decades eating too much fat IS NOT the only thing that will make you fat (even obese) & increase your cholesterol. Carbohydrates (i.e., SUGAR) plays a pivotal role.

IF you can keep your carbs low, i.e., low-carb diet, you can consume a LOT of fat & still not gain any weight. You might even see a drop in your cholesterol. Google it. Look it up.

Reducing carbs (i.e., sugar) is invariably better than reducing fat! Fact of life. Proven.

You have to learn the relationship. Until you do these new nutritional labels will do diddly.
