I read up on teh Smart Balance before I started using it, and am satisfied that the ratio of Omega 6's and 3's are good. My personal opinion, though. I'm not an expert by any stretch, I just like it!

I try to avoid hydrogenated anything where possible, but I don't get nearly as fussy about that as I do HFCS. I figure as long as the majority of fat sources in my diet are healthy, a trace of transfats here and there can be dealt with by my system.

It is discouraging to see unhealthy ingredients in foods that would really be useful, but I also figure if 90% of what I take in is healthy, there's room for a little "junk" on occasion.
