First lets start off with a history lesson.\u00a0 Margarine was formulated in 1869 by Hippolyte M\u00e8ge Mouri\u00e8s of France in response to Napoleon III’s offering of a prize to whoever could succeed at producing a viable low-cost substitute for butter. M\u00e8ge Mouri\u00e8s’ concoction, which he dubbed oleomargarine, was achieved by adding salty water, milk, and margaric acid to softened beef fat. By the turn of the century, the beef fat in the original recipe had been replaced by vegetable oils.<\/p>\n
Now lets look at the ingredients in a popular margarine today.<\/p>\n
I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! 45% vegetable oil spread contains 6g fat (2g saturated fat, 0g trans fat) and 60 calories per serving.<\/p>\n
