THE HERALD OUTLOOK Saturday September 16 1989 Page 23 Her guests were rude but partly right DEAR POLLY A short time ago while having guests or dessert I passed around a frozen nondairy top ping for the pumpkin pie Some of the guests had heard something about palm oil and other ingredients and no one would touch it I said nothing but felt insulted because they said It was poison It seems that they could nave just calmly said No thanks without the comments Just how bad is this type of top ping Much of it is still being sold and I know of no one who has had any problems I realize from reading ar ticles since thennat other oils are safer but since we seldom eat top ping we should be In no danger of dy from it I would appreciate hear ing what you think about this MM DEAR Well its not poison and you dont risk dying from eating an occasional small portion of snch whipped toppings What they do con tain is a large amount of fat much of it saturated And most ol would do well to eat less saturated fat and less fat of any type in order to decrease our risk of heart disease and clogged ar teries these toppings as well as real whipped cream should proba bly be used only occasionally and In small quantities Actually If they contain a large quantity of palm oil tbey could be even higher in saturated fat than real whipped cream POLLYS POINTERS The problem with palm oil and co conut oil too Is that it Is a highly sat orated fat containing a greater por tion of saturated fat than even butter However because it Is a vegetable oil it contains no cholesterol only animal products contain cholesterol so many food manufacturers have used it In baked goods and other products then have boasted that their products contain no cholesterol However saturated fat Is even worse for your health than dietary cholesterol so these claims impart a very misleading message concerning the such food products Once again the key word is moder ation Your friends neednt fear a po lite taste of your topping and they were certainly rude about it Howev er from the standpoint of a good diet its best to use such toppings only in frequently POLLY Pally will send you a Polly Dollar 1 if she uses your favorite Pointer Peeve or Problem in her column Write POLLYS POINTERS in care of this newspaper CELEBRITY CIPHER people peat mdpreeent EMfitMMInOwdpMrtundilor another Today dux V EVHZDRROL HDJHPO A J UJPPXQJJL ER UXHD ODO XJZM ER KBPM E R G J VESUBDP 9BL0W si mum iu NOtimOS 5 CLEAVEHOLM DR GEORGETOWN Henry St otfHwy 7 We8ltoCteaveholm1 Block CHANTELAY CRES STEWARTTOWN DIR TrafaloarRd TuenEastatSctloottoChantelay 419900 1 1 5 IRWIN CRES GEORGETOWN Off Delrex Blvd street west of Mountain view Rd S 254900 SOUTH OF ERIN VILLAGE 2nd house south of Belfountaln Rd 279900 We Proudly Present Lett thin on filled wllh lor family Central air main Hoot family room main floor laund and walkout a deck thai lira treat Itta dad local I on for commuter and trucker a la only to Hwy Oon I ml attract home lot 900 Call aland Hughe for howlng IF YOUR ADDRESS IS IMPORTANT then Took elthi fid home a aq of Hying with a beautiful family room and fireplace Main floor laundry room mailer an crown moUlngi hardwood UNIQUE HOME Cap Cod home feelure a gourmel Miction with bull hi n appliance a drm Id prepare The llnlthed lower level ha a walkout plut wetkoul from the main letel to a large deck thai overlook mllea and mile So the daw with John Hill Price BOO FIRST TIME BUYERS TAKE NOTE very In Georgetown I greal done lor lh family who good apace and ill apeak their bank manager Fin I tried from top with bedroom down a wood- love In rec room Nicely decorated and on a lot which you can enjoy from delighllul Interlocking brick pa Ho A great buy for Check out winner John Hill NR5913B at tier the around Ihe in the big kitchen hut family gathering In the dining oom end have lun In Ihe main lloor family room In the Summer en- by the gorge out pool a e honey a home maintenance free and Court location lor Hit SOD Tour your Hughe EXTRA VALUE Let family enjoy a home to grow In and a view lo appreciate Mother Nature wllh The pollely clean Aden I In area of I own and wall el Nice Include a new roof double drive built in dlihwathar and a flnlahed room See I hit with Hughe 229900 or your hard earned dollar roughed in central finished rec room beautiful over deck and a fenced yard II a a treat to tee thl well decorated immaculate home Cell John Hill lor leaton in JOHN HILL SOLID BRICK BUNGALOW HUGHES Business Res-
