Butter offers a plethora of vitamins and other essential nutrients. It is better to avoid polyunsaturated fats particularly transfatty acids such as margarine.
Good luck to you. |
That's what I noticed when reading the ingredients...you are correct that "hydrogenated" or "partially hydrogenated" are other words for transfats. They apparently squeak by under the "less than one is zero" type rules as with carbs in the food labelling rules.
The only margarine-like product I've found so far that doesn't list any hydrogenated anything in it was the "I can't Believe its Not Butter" spray. You really have to laugh when a product with liquid soybean oil in the first three ingredients says "Zero Calories" though...  |
