1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: The last product review we did was all about butter

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: and it got so much engagement that we thought it

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:10,039
Speaker 1: was time we followed on and made another product review

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: all about Marjorie.

5
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 2: Hi.

6
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: I'm Susie burrowlean Wood and as two of Australia's leading dieticians,

7
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 1: we bring you the Nutrition Couch to product review, a

8
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: weekly chat on new products and old favorites that you

9
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: can find in the supermarket. And today, Leanne, you've gone

10
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: out and picked three different types of very popular margarines

11
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: and AUSSI supermarkets. I recognized all the different ones straight

12
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: away and why perhaps we would and maybe would not

13
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: recommend them for our clients. Now we will share on

14
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: the potty today that when we recently compiled our product

15
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: review manual, which has done incredibly well, we can't really

16
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 1: believe how many people are buying it and are interested

17
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: in product information. You had wanted to or not want to.

18
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: I shouldn't say and put you on the spot like that,

19
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: but we had discussed whether margarine should go, you know,

20
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:00,279
Speaker 1: and I was quite adamant that it didn't. And when

21
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: I feel strongly about something, I do tend to be

22
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: quite definite about it. And the reason I felt strongly

23
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 1: about it was that I felt it was a heavily

24
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: processed product that we shouldn't be saying that this is

25
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: our best favorite one, because if I'm really honest, I

26
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: would say it's in general, I try and discourage the

27
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: use of added spreads. So we agreed to sort of

28
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 1: we didn't want to be seen to be recommending margarine

29
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: because really the product guide, and if you haven't seen it,

30
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: you can see it on our website, the nutritioncouch dot com.

31
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: The product guide is really us pointing towards the products

32
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: that we know, love and use and recommend with our clients.

33
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: So there's no Margarine. I'll be very clear that I

34
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: go and say to my clients, I want you to

35
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: buy this one because I'm really, in general trying to

36
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: minimize added fat. And the reason I'm trying to do

37
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: that is that margarine doesn't really add a lot of

38
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: extra nutrition into the diet. So if we're looking at recommendations,

39
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: it would be like a dietitian saying what's the best

40
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: sugar to add to your tea, Whereas my position is

41
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: you better not to add sugar. So I'm not going

42
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: to recommend the best one and It's a little bit

43
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: similar for me with Marjorie. I say, look, if you

44
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: choose to have a spread on your toast or for

45
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: whatever reason, a small amount of any is probably okay.

46
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: And yeah, there are some that I would recommend or

47
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: even you know, full transparency them that I do have

48
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: at home first, say my kids sandwiches with a bit

49
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: of vegemite. So that was why it didn't appear in

50
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: the product manual. But as we know, it's a staple

51
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: product in supermarket and we did think it was really

52
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: important that we talked about it. Would you say, you're

53
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: on the same page as maybe one.

54
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 2: It's definitely something we need to minimize if people are

55
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 2: having it, you know, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I

56
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 2: don't think that's a good thing. And it doesn't necessarily

57
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 2: add anything positive in nutrition wise towards our health. And

58
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 2: same deal with butter. Butter's on the same level. You know,

59
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 2: a lot of people say, oh, it's grass fed, it's organic,

60
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 2: butter is better because the saturated fat's better, but not

61
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 2: necessarily Like to me, saturated fat is in the areas

62
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 2: in neutral fat like it's not positive like our avocado

63
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: or extraversional of all or our salmon, and same deal

64
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 2: with you know, the types of fats in margarines as well.

65
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: Sure it's not saturated, it's unsaturated, but we're not with

66
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 2: getting much positive nutrition towards our health because it is

67
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 2: so heavily processed. It's nothing like its original kind of form.

68
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 2: Put it that way, true, and we don't technically need it.

69
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 2: You know, when it comes to fats like extravergent, olive

70
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 2: oil or the fats in nuts and seas, there's a

71
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 2: functional role, whereas there's very little functional nutrition in margarine.

72
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 2: But it does play a role for a range of

73
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 2: different reasons. And so we've picked three really good products today.

74
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 2: I love the ones you've chosen because you've picked them

75
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 2: for really smart reasons. So the first one we're going

76
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 2: to check is the Nuttlex poly unsaturated margarine spread. So

77
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 2: Nutlex have a whole range of different products.

78
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: In the old days, they're always in a white container

79
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: NUTLEGX for anyone who grew up in the eighties. But

80
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: this one you'll know there's sort of a sunflower on

81
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: the label. There's also a blue light variety. There's an

82
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: olive oil one. There's several different ones of Nuttlex and

83
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: I love you've picked this one because it's one of

84
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: the only vegan, one hundred percent vegan plant based spreads,

85
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: because you just said to me one of the issues

86
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: is with a lot of margarines, they still include milk solids,

87
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: whereas this one is a vegan product, so that's interesting

88
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: to some of our listeners in general. This is from Woolli's,

89
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: but I know it's available in both. It was on

90
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: sale at the time we published this, but it was.

91
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: It retails for about five dollars twenty per container and

92
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: the containers five hundred grams, so it's quite large. It's

93
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: not one of those sort of half sized ones that

94
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: you may find made in Australia from at least seventy

95
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: seven percent of Australian ingredients, so it's stiry free, lactose free,

96
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: vegan and gluten free, so quite relevant to a number

97
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: of listeners in terms of dietary preferences or requirements. When

98
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: we look at the ingredient list or from vegetable sources,

99
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: the first ingredient is vegetable oils containing sunflower oil at

100
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: five percent. Now there's no overall description of the mix

101
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: of vegetable oil, which is a little bit concerning because

102
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: there's a massive sunflower on the front of the container

103
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: and it's saying it's got five percent only sunflower oil,

104
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: So I'm thinking what else is going in there? The

105
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: next ingredient's water, salt, and mulsifiers, which are simply used

106
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: to mix the product up. Some fower lessis than which

107
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: is very common in Marjorine natural flavor, and some vitamins

108
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: are added ad in natural color which has beta carotene,

109
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: which is fairly routine in Marjorie. Across the board, they'll

110
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: be forty five with certain essential nutrients. If we look

111
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: at the nutritionals per hundred grams, will compare as it's

112
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: a fat, added fat to the diet and four twenty

113
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: four hundred kilodeels, which is about six hundred calories per

114
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: hundred grams. A serve of margarine would we would suggest

115
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: normally be five grams, so just five percent of that.

116
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: But this is just to compare across brands sixty three

117
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: percent fat, which is actually reasonably low. You know, butter

118
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: spreadable butters and a lot of margarines in the old

119
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: days would be up to eighty percent, So this is

120
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: kind of a reduced fat variety. Sixteen point three percent

121
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: saturated fat, so not low in saturated fat, but relatively

122
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: low compared to butter. No carbohydrate sodium three forty milligrams

123
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: in one hundred gram container. So yeah, I think the

124
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: big concern for Melian is when it says vegetable oils

125
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: containing some fire oil. I can only assume it's not

126
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: at sixteen percent. I wouldn't say it's all palm. It's

127
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: probably a mix of different plant based oils. If it

128
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 1: was palm oil, I would suspect it would have a

129
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: much higher saturate of fat proportion that it has at

130
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: sixteen percent, So I'd be hastened to say it's probably

131
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: a mix of canola sunflower oil. In general, to me,

132
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: there's nothing outstanding about it. It's more a good option,

133
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: I guess for people who are vegan. It's lower in

134
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: fat than some added spreads. And yeah, for people with

135
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: certain dietary preferences are in tolerance, particularly lactose or dairy

136
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: free or neating vegan products, it probably ticks the box

137
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: for those people at a reasonable price point.

138
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 2: I just found it amusing that it's marketed as this

139
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 2: you know yellow tub yellow, you know yellow coloring, big

140
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 2: sunflare on the front of it. That's like five percent

141
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 2: somehow oil So bad marketing.

142
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: It's a really good example of how it can be

143
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: a little bit misleading when it comes to products, because

144
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: if they have a claim for an ingredient, like if

145
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 1: it says sunflower, it's got to have it listed how

146
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: much But it's only five percent, so there's not a

147
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: whole lot of sunflower going in there.

148
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. So so nut Ale's original with soundfire oil with

149
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,679
Speaker 2: which say minimal, very minimal.

150
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,559
Speaker 1: Not that sometow is so much better than all the others,

151
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: but I think it looks better, it looks healthier and

152
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: more happy because of the sun powers on the front.

153
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 2: And I think also that perception you know, nuts and

154
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 2: seeds are better types of fats and other type you know,

155
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 2: some other types of unsutradded fats, So I would you know,

156
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 2: naturally think oh, sunflower is probably a better choice, but

157
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 2: it's got such minimal in there, And you're right, like,

158
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 2: why if you're going to disclose how much sunflow oil

159
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 2: one I put on the other types of oils in

160
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 2: there as well. So nothing super positive about nutrition, but

161
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 2: it's a great option for those with allergies in tolerances,

162
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 2: dietary preferences. As you said, that's probably the biggest reason

163
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 2: we'd be recommending it for clients who don't eat dairy,

164
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 2: can't eat dairy, follow a vegan lifestyle, looking for something

165
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 2: that is good and free, and the sodium is quite

166
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 2: low as well. Yeah, that's probably the only really pros

167
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 2: I'd say, if you need it, by it. If not,

168
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 2: I mean, we're certainly not going to say there's healthier

169
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 2: margarines on the market, because they're all kind of the same.

170
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 2: We're not looking for health ones. We're probably just looking

171
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 2: for one that sort of fits the budget, that's nice

172
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 2: and spreadable, it doesn't taste too bad if you're adding

173
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 2: it with your veggiemiter onto a sandwich for the kids,

174
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 2: and you know, we're just looking for you know, fairly,

175
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 2: I would say clean ingredient list, which I think most

176
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 2: of them would have, But although it's clean from an

177
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 2: ingredient perspective, it's not really adding in positive nutritional benefits.

178
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 2: So we're certainly not recommending you go nuts on it.

179
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 2: But this one's fine to use in moderation if that's

180
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 2: what you choose.

181
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: True, and for full transparency, I probably go the notle

182
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: X Light myself. When I'm actually choosing why it's often

183
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: discounted as well, So I don't buy this or myself.

184
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: But if I do pick Anotherlex, it's usually the light

185
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: one for a range of reasons. It's a bit lighter,

186
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: and I think it's only forty percent of that for memory,

187
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: and it spreads really well too, which is a consideration,

188
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: all right. So the next one we're looking at is

189
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: the Olive Grove Classics spread at five hundred gram so

190
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 1: it was on again sale at time of publication, but

191
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: normally retails for about five dollars sixty five, so slightly

192
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: more expensive than the Nuttlex slightly forty cents more, and

193
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: again really tapping into the idea that it's olive oil

194
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: or olive base. So this is sixty percent vegetable oil

195
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: with a minimum nineteen percent olive oil, so much much

196
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: higher than the five percent earlier. Now, of course, olive

197
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: oil is a liquid fat, so it's not going to

198
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: be a high proportion because they need to make it

199
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: a solid fat through processing. That's what margarine is, so

200
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: hence there'll be a level of olliywool they can get

201
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: in there from both a cost perspective, but also just

202
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: functionally is able to solidify and make a solid type

203
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: of fat that you can spread water, salt, and mulsifier,

204
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 1: so very similar, which is just how you make obviously

205
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 1: margarine in the factory milk solid, so that's popping up

206
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 1: there to give it the thickness which you didn't see

207
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: in the nuttlex variety. So when we look at what

208
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: are they using to thicken it up, so it's some

209
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: flower methis and or be what they're using, I'd imagine

210
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 1: in the earlier product, which was vegan, so not using milk, solvents,

211
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: preservative to A two fairly standard for margarine food dusted

212
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: color margorines will always contain a color because they're just

213
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: looking like a murky gray when they're actually made. Vitamin's

214
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: A and D again mandatory fortification, but not listed for

215
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: that reason. And when we look at the calories, it's

216
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: twenty two hundred and twenty, so slightly less but not

217
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 1: significantly to the earlier product. There's someone grammar protein against

218
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: sixty percent fat and very similar percentage saturatedly and at

219
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: sixteen point two, which would make me feel that that's

220
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: the amount required to make it a solid fat given

221
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: that it's so standard across the range. That's the one

222
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 1: grammar carbohydrate is expected, and three hundred and forty milligrams

223
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: of sodium per hundred which is about thirty five per

224
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: five grams serve, which is also ten gram serve, so

225
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: not high and not low, just pretty standard for margarine. Again,

226
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: for me, i'd give it, you know, six out of ten.

227
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: It's not amazing, it's not bad. It's a pretty standard

228
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 1: margarine product that in the old days there used to

229
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: be olive grove light. I don't know if there still is.

230
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 2: I think it is still around. That's the one actually

231
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 2: having my fridge, so full disclosure, I am not really

232
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 2: a butter person. I prefer olive grove. I have a

233
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 2: light one. I think it's just I grew up with it,

234
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 2: Like it's always what we had in the fridge growing up.

235
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 2: If I ever wanted some, like you know, vegimoi on toaster,

236
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 2: a little bit of butter on whatever I was eating,

237
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 2: which I didn't use too much of, but that's sort

238
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 2: of always what I have had, so I've always sort

239
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 2: of stuck with that. But until I really did my degree,

240
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 2: I didn't really read the labels too much. I find

241
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 2: it interesting. I was like Chakra when I first learned

242
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 2: that I was only nineteen per but then looking through

243
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 2: the other ranges, like you said, with the sunflower, it

244
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 2: was only like five percent, so nineteen percent is actually

245
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 2: quite a lot. And when you said, you know, olive

246
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 2: oil is a liquid at room temperature, of course there

247
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 2: can't be one hundred percent olive oil because it would

248
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 2: be a liquid spread like it has to be solidified.

249
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 2: It has to have some saturated fat in there to

250
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 2: actually solidify it. So nutrition panel wise, like, it's very

251
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 2: similar to the natterlex one, isn't it very similar like

252
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 2: the fat minimal carves, minimal protein, no fib and no

253
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 2: sugar and minimal you know, amounts of sodium as well.

254
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 2: So really the only difference is this one does contain

255
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 2: milk solids and a little bit probably of a better

256
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 2: fat percentage. But note that it's nineteen percent olive oil,

257
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 2: not nineteen percent extravergin olive oil. So we're not getting

258
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 2: the full range of really high quality antioxidants there. And

259
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 2: I would probably say the minimal antioxidants you are getting

260
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 2: a probably offset pie some of the saturated fat in there. Anyway,

261
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 2: And some of the preservatives and stuff, So you're certainly

262
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 2: not buying this for a health perspective, but it may

263
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 2: give a slightly better edge than some of the other

264
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 2: margarines on the market. Put it that way, true, I

265
00:11:59,000 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 2: just had a little look.

266
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: So it's interesting, though, we am because the Natterlex Light product,

267
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: which I often buy, has got forty eight percent fat

268
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: versus sixty three, so what twenty five percent lighter? But

269
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: the Olive Grove Light is only like five grams less

270
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 1: than full fat. So this is sixty grams per hundred

271
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: of fat overall and fifty five for the light. So

272
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: that's a little bit misleading to It's not significantly lighter,

273
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: is it, Which I'm surprised. I thought it would have

274
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: been a lot lighter.

275
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 2: And I wonder if the milk solids are bumping that up.

276
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: So for me, it's middle ground, not good, not bad.

277
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: It's sort of it's clearly standard margarine, and i'd just

278
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: been encouraging my clients to use it sparingly if they're

279
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 1: looking for something for their toast or to spread on

280
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: kids sandwiches. All right, now, the final product, I'm so

281
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: glad we're talking about because when I was at University.

282
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: The cholesterol lowering plants are on margarines launched in Australia

283
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: and originally there was Logical which was a product I

284
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: think from Medal Lee in the day, and then also

285
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: for Proactive, which which is the competing brand. Now there

286
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: is now to my knowledge, only Floroproactive, which is an

287
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 1: international brand. And I also noticed just as we went

288
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: into this that when I went to Aldi, they had

289
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 1: the same similar product, obviously repackaged with a cholesterol lowering option.

290
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: So what is cholesterol lowering margarine?

291
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 2: So?

292
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: Plant sterols are a substance that are naturally found in

293
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: fruits and veggies, nuts and seeds, and when you concentrate

294
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: them to about two to three grams that can block

295
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: the uptake of cholesterol in the body. So these products

296
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: have been around in Europe for many years and basically

297
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: they're shown to clinically lower blood cholesterol levels because they

298
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: hop in the spot of cholesterol and cholesterol gets processed

299
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: out and they need some fat to be absorbed, so

300
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: they'll generally be in a dairy product something else with fat,

301
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: and hence the spreadable versions were very popular originally back

302
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,719
Speaker 1: in the nineties. Now fluoroproactive is ten dollars per five

303
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: hundred gram, so it's double what a standard margarine is.

304
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: And you to get the cholesterol lowering effect, you used

305
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: to need at least a couple of tablespoons, so about

306
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: four grams per day to get that amount of plant sterol.

307
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 2: Actually, just looked it up. It's a little bit less.

308
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 2: It's a little less. It's twenty five grams. It's about

309
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 2: a rounded tablespoon, which you'll give you about two grams

310
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 2: of plant sterols.

311
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: But that's a lot, isn't it, Because that's.

312
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 2: Like two a big heaped table spoon.

313
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: It's a lot of spread.

314
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 2: So and the research is for two to three grams,

315
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 2: so i'd really be upping closer to three just to

316
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 2: kind of, you know, really make sure you are getting

317
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 2: in that clinical dose that's required to actually give you

318
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 2: that cholesterol lowering effect. So you're looking at a really

319
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 2: heaped table So in a day, I would not use

320
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 2: anything close to.

321
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: That every day. You've got to have it too every day.

322
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 2: And it takes it as a little as three weeks,

323
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 2: but at least three weeks to really benefit from that,

324
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 2: and then if you stop it, your cholesterol's got to

325
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 2: go back up again, so it's something you need to

326
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 2: do consistently.

327
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: Let's go through the nutritionals and then we'll come back

328
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: to why we're perhaps not always recommending this product, even

329
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: though that sounds amazing. So the ingredients is different. Straight away,

330
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: the first ingredients water and if you've used them, you'll

331
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: notice they're quite whipped. They're quite different consistency, followed by

332
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: vegetable oils than the fighter st eryls, eight percent gelatine,

333
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: salt are multifiers SOI lefus and milk solid. It's so

334
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: very similar profile to the other products preservative, natural flavor,

335
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: the basic margarine formula. Now the nutritionals are different, So

336
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: per hundred grams it's fifteen hundred and forty kilodels, which

337
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: is significantly less than the others, up to thirty percent

338
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: less calories per one hundred grams, which is interesting because

339
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: the total fat is only forty point five grams and

340
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: the saturrets as low as nine. So if we were

341
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: purely talking about spreadsley and minus the cholesterol lowering ad

342
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: on which we'll talk about, it's superior nutritionally straight away,

343
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: Like it's forty percent fat, so it's like a third

344
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: less fat in total, much lower and saturated fat less

345
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: than ten percent saturated and lower in sodium. So nutritionally

346
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: it's a lower calorie, lower fat product. But first of all,

347
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: let's not forget it's double the price, so you're adding

348
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: in a spread that is quite expensive. You know, let's

349
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: be honest in the food spend at the moment ten

350
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: dollars for a small packet of something small. The reasonly

351
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: Anna and I are not saying everyone should use this

352
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: if you've got chi cholesterol is that you have to

353
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: use so much every single day, and that adds up

354
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: because how many serves is that it's only twenty serves,

355
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: so less than a month to get that twenty five

356
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: grams to get the clinical effect, it adds up like

357
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: you're spending ten fifteen dollars a month on margarine. Now,

358
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: I myself know that with my clients I would much

359
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: rather than get a cholesterol lowering effect from a diet

360
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: I can prescribe that doesn't add back in process fat

361
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: in the form of margarine. But some people who have

362
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: not had dietary effects, or who mix perhaps this with

363
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: plant sterol coming from milk. There's the hard active milk

364
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: that has plant sterols. Perhaps it works for those people,

365
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: but I don't generally recommend or prescribe it because I

366
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: just don't feel that comfortable in giving people process vegetable

367
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: oil to lower cholesterol levels. So that's why leand and

368
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: I are a little bit sort of not going for it,

369
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: even though nutritionally it looks superior and it seems to

370
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: have this profound health benefit.

371
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 2: I agree. And it's expensive. You're like ten dollars for

372
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 2: five hundred grams. Yeah, it's just a lot like I couldn't.

373
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be able to eat that, and I rarely

374
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 2: have clients that would be able to do that unless

375
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 2: you're using it and cooking. You know, you're cooking your

376
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,360
Speaker 2: vegetables in it. You're having bread too three times a day,

377
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,919
Speaker 2: which you know, as dieticians who really encourage people not

378
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 2: to do because we want a diversity of different types

379
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 2: of hoole grains in the diet. We don't want toothy

380
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 2: slices at breakfast, two three slices of bread at lunch,

381
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 2: and then more bread or something at dinner. And let's

382
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 2: be honest with the other types of whole grains like

383
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 2: rice and kunua and other types of grains, we don't

384
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 2: tend to use butter and margarine on them like we

385
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 2: would with bread, so it's sort of a trade off.

386
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 2: I rarely, rarely, rarely, rarely recommend this. If I need

387
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 2: some sort of plant sterol, I'll go with the milk

388
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 2: as a good example, Like there's a plant sterel type

389
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 2: of milk that's the one I generally use for my clients.

390
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: And a cereal wheatbeaks. So I have to agree with you.

391
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: I think if you are going to try plants drolls

392
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 1: to lower cholesterol, there's better options, And I just yeah,

393
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: I'm one hundred percent with you. Actually, I can't remember

394
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: how much it was in Audi. I think it was

395
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: still about eight dollars. But it's good to understand it

396
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 1: because I think there's quite a few people who use

397
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: it sporadically and will not be getting the clinical benefit,

398
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: and for those people, it's certainly a waste of money. Yes,

399
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: all right, Well, that concludes our chat about margarine, in

400
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: which we have been planning to do for quite some time.

401
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: We hope that it's made selecting those products in the

402
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,239
Speaker 1: supermarket a little bit easier, and if you haven't done
