The Wellness of YOU! - # 121 - More About Margarine
posted in Nutrition and Weight Loss |
A couple of days ago I wrote an article where we discussed the difference between butter and margarine and which one was better for your nutrition and weight loss program. If you missed it you can read it here:

One of our readers took the time to comment on this article and left us some valuable further information that I’d like to share with you. Here’s a copy of her comment:
“I work with the National Association of Margarine Manufacturers so I’m well informed on this subject. Have you looked at a margarine label lately? You won’t find any soft or liquid margarine that contain trans fat, and trans fat levels of stick margarines have been greatly reduced. Margarine manufacturers continue to be the leaders in the food industry in removing trans fats from products, and they continue to innovate the market by adding healthy, functional ingredients such as antioxidants, omega fatty acids, and fat-soluble vitamins to products.
The margarine industry has made such an impact in providing healthy product that in 2005, when the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the MyPyramid food guidance system was issued, liquid oils, and soft, trans fat-free margarine spreads were classified by the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee Report as helping to meet the essential fatty acids and Vitamin E needs of consumers.”
