  • Very high in saturated fat
    Not all fats are created equal. Saturated fats are the ones responsible for bad cholesterol buildup in our blood vessels, as well as contributing to coronary disease.
  • One of the worst products in its category
    This product is in the bottom 10% of the products in its category
  • Watch the cholesterol...
    While cholesterol has been shown to be less harmful than once believed, you should not consume more than 300mg a day. This product contains more than 10% of your daily cholesterol intake.If you're on a low cholesterol diet, make sure you pay attention to portion: 10% of your daily allowance can quickly become 50% when a hamburger turns into double cheeseburger. Trouble sticking to daily goals? Try limiting your meat, cheese and dairy intake to one item per meal and avoid items with multiple sources of cholesterol (like chicken with ham and cheese, breakfast sandwiches with sausage and cheese or bacon cheeseburgers). Opt for items like BLT's, chicken sandwiches with veggies and meatless pizza. Choose water and not milk for your main mealtime beverage.
  • Not a good source of calcium!
    Cheese is a generally a good source of calcium (more than 10% daily value per serving) - but not the one you just scanned. If you are looking for calcium - swap for something with higher calcium content.By the way, you don't need high fat or calories to get high calcium. Many "lite" versions of cheese provide 30% of daily calcium needs. Choose cheeses that are a naturally good source of calcium. If you're worried about fat and calories, pre-sliced cheese, cheese sticks or cheese squares are a great way to make sure your portion is the right size.The FDA defines a serving of cheese as 1 ounce (30 grams).
  • Learn about Xanthan Gum, found here
    Xanthan gum is an emulsifier. It helps ingredients blend more effectively and stay blended while waiting on a shelf. For example water and oil mixtures, as well as bits of spice in a salad dressing. Xanthan Gum is made by fermenting corn sugar with a bacteria, Xanthomonas campestris. It's the same bacteria that creates black spots on broccoli and cauliflower. The result is a slimy goo that is then dried up and ground into a fine white powder.
  • Cheese lovers rejoice, maybe?
    Denmark is known for its tasty dairy products. Unfortunately butter and cheese are very high in saturated fat. The connection between saturated fats and increased blood cholesterol (leading to heart issues) has been accepted by most health organizations world wide.That's why, when research comes out pointing out the opposite, our ears perk. Especially when the research is by Danish scientists, sponsored by the Danish dairy industry.What did the European scientists discover? That cheese and butter have different effects on our bloods LDL (bad) cholesterol levels. While adding butter to your diet does increase bad cholesterol levels, cheese does not. A group of 50 people were tested over a period of several months, some consuming butter, others cheese. The butter eaters had an increase of 7% in their LDL cholesterol levels.Why would cheese, rich in saturated fat just like butter, have no effect? The researchers hypothesize that it could be the high level of calcium in cheese, as compared to butter. Or maybe the high amount of protein. Or maybe they need to do some more research.In any case, this is one small study, so don't go triple cheese on your next pizza night. Rather, enjoy high quality cheese in small portions.
