I have been looking at rice milk on the mysupermarket website.
Asda Tesco and Sainsbury all sell it - good - cuppas will be ok
I did find a newspaper health warning that some rice milk has tested positive for high arsenic due to pesticide use on the crops, so organic is the way to go.
I have been looking at what I could use as a substitute for butter.
The 'butter substitutes' I have looked at all contain hydrogenised or partly hydrogenised fat.
Now that
is bad news!
So I am looking at good old fashioned dripping and lard.
I don't often eat sandwiches so the butter I use is put in the brioche bread I make.
- 2oz in every loaf. I will be trying out lard in that.
I have a slice of brioche with my breakfast.
It is lovely dipped in beaten egg and fried in olive oil - no butter there.
I doubt whether I will be able to completely eliminate butter from my diet.
I might get away with lard in bread, but I don't think biscuit recipes will be tasty.
Some saturated fats are essential for good brain maintenance.
I am hoping that I will get dairy consumption down drastically.
