    Oh no, I have 5 years left before all the orange juice I drink now causes me to regain 15% of my body fat.

    A nutritionist is not a certified dietician. There is no scientist who would say that a food should be prohibited because of age. Well, maybe jello shots or Red Bull aren't often served in nursing homes.
    Say it aint so! :(


    MY NURSING HOME HAD BETTER WELL HAVE GOOD BOOZE.

    I do agree with staying away from trans fat, but what you said is frankly incorrect. Margarine is NOT a molecule. Margarine contains hydrolyzed fats. It's made from hydrogenation of vegetable oil. Vegetable oil have a a double bond, This double bond creates a 120 degree bend where the double bond is.. This bend makes it so when the molecules are stacked together they form a liquid, hence vegetable oils are liquid at room temperature. Saturated fats such as butter don't have this bend, they are more linear, the atoms are in 109.5 degree's in relatoin to each other. so they stack in more compact making them solid at room temperature.

    Margarine is made by a processed where you get a vegetable oil and you get rid of this double bond. Making it more linear. This process is called hydrogenation. It stacks like butter. A byproduct of hydrogenation is converting the bend in vegetable oil(cis isomer) to a trans isomer. This results in trans fat in the margarine.

    Notice the trans isomer on the right. That's a trans fat. Now compare that to Polypropylene(a certain type of plastic).

    not even close to a trans fat. The first picture was a 2d representation of a trans fat. you might have difficulty comparing the 2. So here is the 3d structure of the trans fat.

    Not all margarine uses hydrogenated vegetable oils. It used to be the case 20 years ago but since information on trans fats many major brands have gone away from hydrogenated oils and there are many smaller brands that have never used them. So to say all margarine has trans fats is just wrong.

    Not a Canadian thing -- a dairy industry thing. There was a time when you had to do this in the U.S., too, because the dairy industry lobbied for regulations barring the margarine manufacturers from selling it with the yellow color already mixed in, in the hopes of making it less appealing to consumers.

    Everything is changed to sugar by the body. That's how it's digested. And enough people said a nutritionist is not a licensed food professional.

    Dear god that goes on and on! Still don't know what the supposedly evil foods are but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's b/s.

    Artificial Sweeteners
    Orange juice
    whole wheat bread
    Soy milk
    Margarine


    That's an odd list. I can get the sweeteners, orange juice and soy milk.

    But why the bread? And margarine? What margarine. There are so many different margarines with different ingredients. Are they ALL supposedly bad just because of the label?

    Sorry you guys, I honestly posted it before I realized how long it was and that she was promoting her program. Lesson learned.

    Just beware in the future! Never trust anyone who calls themselves a nutritionist. Certified dietitian or bust. ;)

    Every certified dietician I know calls themselves a nutritionist. And, thanks to a family member with a severe GI disorder, I know a few. Heck, even many nutrition scientists refer to themselves as nutritionists. While I agree that it's a good idea to check credentials, all nutritionists should not be discounted.

    my grandma told me about that, she is american so I guess it is really an old person thing. That sounds weird.

    Im from Wisconsin and my dad used to talk about Oleo runners Back in the day. Apparently margarine was illegal in the state for a time due of course to the fact that it is after all Americas Dairyland!

    I got this out of it.

    Artificial sweeteners turn in to fat because they're the same molecule.
    Whole wheat bread is made of the same artificial chemicals and get stored as fat. The wheat may be from GMO. Wheat turns in to sugar, just like orange juice, once it spikes your blood sugar it will cause your body to hold on to fat and not let it go. It also causes inflammation in your vagina organs. When your vital organs don't work like they should, it causes weight gain.

    THANK YOUUUU

    In my vagina organs?

    While I agree that margarine is nasty and not healthy, saying it's one molecule away from being plastic sounds really silly. One molecule is huge.

    And water is one molecule away from being hydrogen peroxide. That argument is ridiculous.

    I know that dieticians can be certified as such, while 'nutritionist' is not certified thing, but it seems like in academic discussions, you do find the label 'nutritionist' used very frequently. For example, you can get a masters or doctorate in nutritional science.

    How is 3 percent of DNA comparable to 1 molecule. Do you even math? Or biology? Or logic?
    I mean as far as trying to refute a poor argument with another poor argument...

    Yup, water being one molecule away from hydrogen peroxide is a far better example.


    I still want to know what all this has to do with my vagina organs.

    So long as you don't have a soy latte and a serve of whole wheat toast on the side.
