Guest guest Posted August 21, 2000 Report Share Posted August 21, 2000 I switched to butter long before going on Atkins because of the taste and because of the seriously bad trans-fatty-acids produced in margarine. Keep in mind that oil (which margarine is made from) is liquid at room temperature. To make it solid you have to " hydrogenate " it. In the process those " trans-fats " are created. They are thought to be far worse for you than the real butter. So I switched and just didn't use as much as I used to. At the time the price of decent margarine was about the same as butter also.
