It is fake.

The heart foundation of Australia says it is better to have margarine than butter.

I'm sure there's some FDA loophole much like the sugar packet companies exploit in order to label their products zero-calorie sweeteners.

If I remember correctly, the FDA will allow food companies to omit ingredients from the label as long as there is under a certain amount (i'm wanting to say 0.5g, but don't quote me on it) of it in the product.

Also, as most people know, food companies like to come up with different names for nasty ingredients, such as high fructose corn syrup.

Or artificial coloring agent 1337.

How can something 1337 be bad for you?

Only the 1337 survive? I call H4X02 on that one!

It irritates me how in Cooking a few years ago we had to use Margarine, because it was "healthy".

Along with Corn Meal in cookies, and whole wheat everything.

His aunt.

Oh jeez! I cringe upon seeing that

 

[adamp93]

If that is 100% true I'll eat margarine. (Which is disgusting apparently)

That is really fascinating. Great read and I have sent the text to as many people in my e-mail contacts as possible

I see what you did there 👍

Based on the incorrect lipid hypothesis?

If you read the thread, you might have learned something.

 

[Azuremen]

If you read the thread, you might have learned something.

Look at more than half the responses in here, it is kind of obvious how many people just pop in, add their two cents on the OP, and never bother to read anything but it.

And that is how things like the OP's email continue to spread. Sigh.

 

[Crushed]

? I read the first post and i was saying how i heard that before and luckily i have never used it how do you think i didnt read it??

 

[Doth1s]

If you would have read the thread you would have found that what is in the first post is either extremely outdated or a straight up lie.

 

[Crushed]

Ok well sorry i dont want to read 3 pages of talking i was just talking with the first post then. And did you not see this? http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/b/butter-margarine.htm so obviously i still would rather use butter!

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

*facedesk*

If you read the thread you would see that it has already been linked...on the first page amazingly.

 

[Crushed]

Except even bits if that are wrong or outdated.

Marg has been around for over 100 years - it was invented in 1869, and most Marg has substantially reduced or removed Trans-fats since the late '90s either because of a legal requirement (some European countries) or simply to keep people buying them.

Remove the trans-fat and may of the negatives of that email also go.


Scaff

Indeed. I haven't seen trans fats in any margarine. It appears as 'partially hydrogenated oil' in the ingredients list.

Geez
