Pastries are bad for cholesterol
  • High in saturated and trans fats:
    Pastries often contain butter, shortening, and sometimes hydrogenated oils, which are solid fats that can raise LDL cholesterol.

  • High in sugar:
    The added sugars in pastries can lead to higher blood triglycerides, which are another type of unhealthy blood fat.

  • High in calories:
    Many pastries are dense in calories, which can contribute to weight gain and inflammation, both of which can negatively affect cholesterol levels.

  • Low in nutrients:
    These baked goods often lack essential nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and fiber.

Butter does not harm. This restaurant would never use lesser fats! It’s has no added glucose. Fructose might be there from fruit.
  • High in sugar:
    The added sugars in pastries can lead to higher blood triglycerides, which are another type of unhealthy blood fat.

Glucose is fine for those who exercise! It’s just a balance of fuel!

These aren’t “many pastries: just one, “Carrot Cake” to share on a birthday celebration, LOL!
  • Low in nutrients:
    These baked goods often lack essential nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
This restaurant, only uses thr finest fresh I grdients but if one just ate and watched TV, no matter how healthy the diet, one would suffer obesity, hypertension and early demise!
