I haven't bothered with the article as I already know it's toxic!

As long as you know already that margarine is toxic, that is all you really should know.

If you were to say you didn’t bother with the article because you know it was false information. I would then tell you that not bothering to read up on it was pure ignorance.

My mum was an organic chemist, and was an early one to realise how dangerous it was, because she understood the chemical reaction in the body. It always amazed me every time I met other chemists, to find they'd made the same realisation on their own too... thankfully it's more common knowledge these days.

The public, health care professionals and so on really do need to be more mindful and think for themselves rather than be lead by leaders/governments, mainstream media and so on.

I’m glad to hear about some chemists (like your mum) has come to realise how dangerous these “medicines” can be.

Hi Matt2584

Thanks for this information. I remember seeing the TV programme 'Sugar Farm' where they showed how Margarine was made, and compared it with butter, and definitely Butter was preferable as a spread, in terms of the ingredients and processes.

Hope you're enjoying the weekend.

Butter is so much better for you than margarine. Butter is no where near like plastic for a start haha.

Enjoying the weekend though thank you :). How is yours?
