Commercial mayonnaise often contains high levels of added fat and animal protein in the form of eggs. Finding ways to decrease the refined oils in our diet significantly reduces insulin resistance. This resistance is tied to an increased risk of Alzheimer's, the accumulation of belly fat, and damage to our circulatory system. This simple, economical, homemade spread option uses soy-based tofu and unrefined nuts to ensure good-quality protein. Lemon juice provides an acidic touch and enhances iron absorption in the stomach.
