It appears that it's a complex issue: <A HREF="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/002114.htm" REL="nofollow">this site</A> says that margarine is better, and <A HREF="http://health.yahoo.com/topic/nutrition/foods/qanda/mayoclinic/657E562B-7D04-4708-AAA6CAE9EB2CB068" REL="nofollow">this site</A> says that it depends on which kind of margarine, because some brands of margarine are worse than butter (<A HREF="http://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/9811/10/butter.vs.margarine/" REL="nofollow">this article</A> specifies which U.S. margarine brands are best). Hahaha, how confusing! :-Trowiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11689733974224827589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5121873905926457624.post-89279476661313778532007-05-21T13:17:00.000+08:002007-05-21T13:17:00.000+08:00hey row! wanted to leave a comment about substitut...hey row! <BR/><BR/>wanted to leave a comment about substituting butter with non-fat margarine... it's actually a misconception that margarine is better on the stomach and therefore better for overall health. margarine is more complex than butter and is therefore more difficult to digest, even if butter technically has more fat. <BR/><BR/>anyhow, there are already non-fat, 0 salt butter brands... <BR/><BR/>plus, it doesn't hurt that butter tastes infinitely better than margarine. :)hungerpangs.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07684994750365426474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5121873905926457624.post-79696811899227057862007-05-09T12:41:00.000+08:002007-05-09T12:41:00.000+08:00...

That having been said, after doing a perusal of websites, it appears that while a lot of them agree that iceberg lettuce has almost zero nutritional value, a lot of them append this with, "It's not bad for you, but it isn't good for you either."<BR/><BR/>Well, I suppose the bottom line is that if we think we're getting our "vegetable quotient" by eating iceberg lettuce, we're mistaken. :-/rowiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11689733974224827589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5121873905926457624.post-11042722071805353102007-05-09T12:33:00.000+08:002007-05-09T12:33:00.000+08:00Thanks, Tito Rolly!Joy: According to a doctor-frie...Thanks, Tito Rolly!<BR/><BR/>Joy: According to a doctor-friend of mine, iceberg lettuce has practically zero nutritional value; it's mostly water. He also said that the sum total of eating iceberg lettuce is actual more harmful than helpful, although I don't remember the exact reason he gave. According to <A HREF="http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art49825.asp" REL="nofollow">this article</A>, though, iceberg lettuce can be bad for diabetics and for people with digestion problems, the latter because it's apt to cling to the walls of your digestive tract for long periods of time without being digested.rowiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11689733974224827589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5121873905926457624.post-67688461400798755442007-05-09T03:28:00.000+08:002007-05-09T03:28:00.000+08:00yikes... why are iceberg lettuce bad for you?
