Tofutti Sour Cream and Cream Cheese

[Guest guest]

The Cream Cheese is 8 grams of fat per serving (2 TBS) and 3.5 grams of

saturated fat. Some bad oils in there:

 

" INGREDIENTS: Filtered Water, Palm Fruit Oil*, Soybean Oil*, Inulin (Chicory

Root Extract), Soybeans*, Soy Protein, Agave Syrup*, Sea Salt, Soy Protein*,

Lactic Acid, Rice Starch*, Lemon Juice Concentrate*, Natural Flavor, Locust Bean

Gum*, Xanthan Gum. *Denotes ORGANIC "

 

The only oil worse than palm for saturated fat is Coconut.

 

So, with just one serving, your getting half to a third day's recommended fat by

Esselstyn, et. al.

 

Toffutti Sour Cream weighs in 5 grams of fat (1 gram saturated) per serving.

 

" INGREDIENTS: Filtered Water, Soybean Oil*, Inulin (Chicory Root Extract), Palm

Fruit Oil*, Soybeans*, Rice Starch*, Soy Protein*, Carrageenan, Calcium Lactate,

Lactic Acid, Agave Syrup*, Lemon Juice Concentrate*, Natural Flavor, Guar Gum,

Locust Bean Gum*, Sea Salt. *Denotes ORGANIC "

 

There's really no food in them anyway, 'cept for some soybeans.

 

Years ago I'd use these, but know, it's so easy to used Lite Tofu (Mori) and

make my own (recipes abound on the web, on Susan's site, etc.). Not only

significantly healthier, but much cheaper to make. No need for the added oil.

The Tofutti products, for the most part, contribute to keeping your taste buds

addicted to the taste of fat.

 

In fact, since being on Essy's program for three years (anniversary in a week

and a half, there will be a major post), I don't make them that often. Just

don't miss the taste of fat!

Oh man, Mark, I wish I could say that!!!! I rarely use these items, but I have used them. They're nice subs. For my birthday breakfast, I had a gluten free bagel (see, I'm trying ) with the Tofutti cream cheese, as well as the Silk soy creamer in my coffee. What a wonderful treat! Marilyn
