Amazing the info that we're inundated with and the fact that we can't just believe it! We have top check everything! Email content, website content, ingredients on products we may have purchased for years but the company decided to change what they use and didn't tell anyone or make it clear on the packaging! Too much, don't you think? Hmmm!

However after reading the Dr's reply, i'm still not convinced that even though many margarines contain plant esters, the average daily intake would provide enough health benefit vs. the same amount of butter? Personally, i'm not too fussed for myself as I use Pure Sunflower spread which is suitable for Vegans but, i've converted the rest of the family to using butter!? On another note, I came across this useful website in my favourites which lists products from major brands that are suitable for veggie's/vegans. I'm not sure how up-to-date it is though? http://isitveggie.com/ Regards, Mayank I too believed what I had read/been told about butter being better for you and margarine being 1 molecule away from butter.
