Petition | The Heart Foundation: Stop promoting margarine and processed food! | Change.org
There is overwhelming scientific evidence that margarine is unhealthy  and toxic for human consumption. It is a man made, highly processed  substance, no animal will touch it! It contains trans fats and despite  the Heart Foundation reassuring people that the amounts of trans fats  are very low, they are still extremely detrimental to health even at  these levels and are far worse for you then butter! Trans fat tends to  be solid at room temperature as well and can easily cling to the walls  of your arteries as if it were saturated fat. However trans fats are  MUCH WORSE than saturated fats as they are not found in nature and  therefore the body has a great deal of difficulty in digesting them, as a  result trans fat easily builds up in the arteries as opposed to the  saturated fats which can be broken down and actually utilised by the  body. Margarine has been linked to cancer AND cardiovascular disease and  causes harmful free radicals.
