“Eating more ALA from supplemented margarine...”

Margarine is nothing but vegetable oil. You should eat real butter.

I’m always skeptical when I see studies like this. Follow the money.

I have been taking Omega-3 supplement for ten years. I think I’ll continue taking it...just in case.

And margarine typically uses very poor quality vegetable oil which is then artificially hydrogenated. You're right about butter. It's all natural, and tastes 10 times better than margarine.

Speaking of foods and their claims, yesterday my mom was baking cakes and asked me to pickup some flour & margarine. When I got home and showed her the margarine I asked her why did she need it as its really a non-food item. She said that she misspoke and meant to say butter.

I then took up a plastic bottle of her pills from the table as explained to her that margarine is very close to being like the plastic that made up her pill bottles.

You’re right—margarine is a disaster!

Several years ago I read about a U of NC study on the health benefits of broccoli.

About a year later I read an article touting the U of NC Agri Department for bringing income to the U. Their big cash crop? Broccoli.
