4Margarine
A lot of manufacturers have switched to new methods of producing margarine by interesterification and blending with unsaturated liquid oils. It’s supposed to be healthier than the earlier technique that involved adding hydrogen to vegetable oils to solidify them.
But it doesn’t change the fact that making this butter substitute involves a significant amount of processing. And unless you’re ready to investigate your favorite brand thoroughly, it’s difficult to say what goes into the spread.
Alternative: Use real butter in limited quantities if you’re not allergic to dairy. Healthy alternatives include mashed avocado, butter made from peanuts and/or almond and coconut butter.
