QUOTE(jfleong @ Oct 29 2017, 07:57 PM) A little bit of chemistry here from your explanation, saturated fats are better? Plant fats usually have more unsaturated fat , i.e. fat molecules with at least one double bond (saturated fat have all single bonds) . This means that it's more liquid (lower melting point) in the process of making margarine, they hydrogenise the oil, breaking down double bonds into single bonds by adding hydrogen to the bond but for some of the bonds, the orientation is opposite of the naturally occurring bonds , which is why it's called trans-fat |

QUOTE(jfleong @ Oct 29 2017, 08:04 PM) How did you infer that? you're making me confusedTrans fat is the absolute worst, shouldn't even be in your diet Unsaturated fat is better than saturated fat, especially poly unsaturated (means more than one double bond per molecule) margarine has poly and mono saturated fat butter has saturated fat your explanation makes me think butter is better than margarine |
