Tempeh or Quorn, what's best if you have heart disease? Thoughts?

Not many people have heard of Tempeh; quite a lot of us have heard of Quorn. Since I went veggie I've had a lot of both, as well as Seitan, Tofu and Soy Protein.

Quorn scares me a bit as it's a processed food and made by boffins somewhere. The manufacturer is part of a huge food manufacturer.

My Tempeh is organic and people have been eating it for centuries. I can get it from most health food shops for about £2 a pack. I usually get 5 portions out a pack. I think some of the Quorn products are delicious and can be excellent value, but the sat fat content of some forces me to put them back in the freezer cabinet.

It seems to me that Tempeh can play a positive part in my Angina plan while Quorn probably does no harm. What do you think though?
