Tayyibat Code

Food list › The pantry

Is margarine allowed on the Tayyibat diet?

No

No. Dr. Al-Awadi excluded this food himself.

Margarine, not allowed on the Tayyibat diet

Why margarine is off the list

Factory trans fats do something no natural fat does: raise your bad cholesterol and lower your good cholesterol at the same time. The World Health Organization launched a global campaign to get rid of them.

The detail

Industrial trans fats raise LDL cholesterol and lower HDL at the same time, a double hit no natural fat delivers. The WHO ran a global campaign to eliminate them.

The rule behind the verdict
