a professor of mine once told me that it is a few molecules from being plastic and that it is really bad for you on a toxic level instead of a fat level.

anyone know anything about it?

 

Most compounds can be changed into extremely different substances with the addition/deletion/change of a few molecules. If it was toxic I don't think they'd let it be sold in stores. Besides, you're not supposed to use a tub of margarine every time you cook. Anything in excess is bad.

 

except pot,booze, and hookers

 

 

margarine increases your risk of coronary heart disease three fold and the risk of cancer five fold. eat at your own risk.

 

I'll let you google the following
Phen fen
thalidomide
Celebrex.


Yes, margarine is bad worse than butter, much worse.

 

so why do people eat it

 

Cuz they market it as being healthier/less fat than butter.

 

Those are all drugs, medicine. How often do you use margarine (more than your medication?), and how much? Yes, it's bad for your health, but its not toxic in the way that it causes cardiac problems after your third use...

 

I'm merely pointing your your assumption that bad things aren't sold. Toxic things are sold in stores all the time. Sometimes for years before people realize that it's bad/toxic and recall the product.

I'll add one more "lead paint".
