So if you don't mind my asking, I just bought some "smart balance" yellow solid stuff and boy does it taste great and buttery on bread. It boasts "no trans fats!" and "non-hydrogenated." The first ingredients, however, are soy, palm, canola and olive oil. How in the heck did they make it solid without hydrogenating it? And isn't palm oil a definite no-no, if not soy oil as well?
I know that they have a website that touts their revolutionary method of solidifying these oils... geez, can a person help but be confused in the world of margarine wars??? Should I just eat butter? Any insight into this, Larry? I'm not going to give up the solid yellow stuff since as I said, I seem to have a good blood fat balance, but I was mainly thinking about my typical male overweight hub when I bought the stuff.
