I have read the List's posts on margerine vs butter for some time, and am getting "mixed messages" as a result...
I we can agree, butter is just jammed full of chloresteral, and "is to be avoided"...
EVOO has the "LDL" chloresteral, as opposed the "butter" "HDL" (ie "bad") stuff, and so EVOO is not so neccessarily "bad" for you...
The "stick" margerines (ie the ones you buy as a solid "bar") are supposedly packed with trans-fats, (which the Canadian Government is about to just about "outlaw" or at the very least, post "food warnings" all over!)
I have been using "Becel" brand "tub" margerine for several years, as it is "allegedly" "free of trans-fats", "zero chloresteral" and "low in saturated fats"...
Recognizing that this might be the craftiest ad campaign going, and the "rules" are different south of the line, what do you Americans get "fed" as an "ad campaign" on the same issues?
Its an important issue, and one we should discuss...
