NO. Just NO that’s a fallacy. Eat real butter, your body processes clean fats better than that stuff packed with bad oils. Use Kerry Gold, or any grass fed organic butter, they are delicious and not bad for you!
It’s not a great product but it’s also not bad. If you just put a thin layer on your bread once a day, it’s fine. I wouldn’t consume excess amounts of it tho.
If you live in EU, most margarines are trans-fat free or they contain less then 1% of them which is less than butter does. But of course, there’re still a few products that contain trans fats, you can just look at nutrition content.
Another thing about the ingredients - the packaging may state whether the product contains partially solidified fat or solidified fat. The solidified fat is healthier, I would reach for it. Partially solidified contains more trans fat, I wouldn’t buy it.
When choosing a margarine, follow the nutritional info - the less saturated fatty acids, the better. If the manufacturer also lists the polyunsaturated fatty acid content, including omega 3 and omega 6,choose products with the highest possible omega 3 content. (This doesn’t mean that omega 6 is bad, but we usually get enough of it in our normal diet.)
If Omega 3 and 6 aren’t listed, try to reach for a margarine that contains oils with best omega 3 to 6 ratio - like canola oil (in this case it would be instead of sunflower one).
