I Can't Believe It's BULLSHIT

Guess what?  It isn't butter, but it still isn't healthy for you!

I listen to Adam Carolla via Podcasts during the day, and last week, he had Jillian Michaels> from The Biggest Loser on his show. She divulged a few key things I hadn't heard or known.

When I changed my eating lifestyle years ago, I adopted ICBINB to substitute for margarine.  I thought it was the coolest thing that it was ZERO fat and ZERO calories.

Well, Jillian was discussing the use of this spray and she divulged that even though it says that, ONE bottle of this spray actually contains 900 calories and appx. 90 grams of fat!

WTF?!?!?!

Key words:  Per Serving

Here's the skinny.  The FDA has a regulation that allows companies to label foods with servings that are 0.9 calories and 0.9 fat, they are allowed to round DOWN.  So, if each spray of ICBINB is (1) serving, and each serving is 0.9 calories and appx. 0.5 grams of fat, they can say that each serving is ZERO calories and ZERO fat.

I never really thought about this until she talked about it, and then she said that the spray contains liquid soy bean oil and sweet cream buttermilk.  Both of those contain calories and fat.

So basically, ICBINB is using this loop-hole to promote their product.  Nothing new in America.

Wheat Bread

Another interesting item that Jillian brought up is that wheat bread isn't very good for men.  Why?  Cause wheat releases estrogen in your body.  That's something guys really don't want or need.

Stick to 100% Whole Grain.  Much better stuff for ya.
