Butter vs. Margarine___________________________________________________________
I'd like some thoughts on the butter vs. margarine controversy. I
hear so many times that margarine is better for you than butter, but there
are those who disagree. I've come across the following quote:
"Butter is a natural food. Margarine is a gross perversion of the natural
vegetable oils from which it came. To make margarine, the unsaturated fats
in the oils, which make oils liquid at room temperature, are artificially
saturated to give margarine its solid texture. So margarine has the same
saturated fat content as butter; and people who run to margarine to cut down
on saturated fats are actually gaining nothing."
I don't know how right the author is (Julie Jordan, in her excellent
cookbook, "Wings of Life"), so that's why I'm asking.
