Hi Angela and Viv:

I eat Smart Balance all the time. It is technically a margarine, but doesn't contain trans-fatty acids and hydrogenated oils, which is the reason you should stay away from margarines.

If the issue is "trans-fats", it would be OK to eat Smart Balance cold, but not to cook with it. Once you heat it, you've changed its "cis" configuration to a "trans" configuration, sorry to say. Saturated or monounsaturated oils are always your best options for cooking.
