8. Margarine
Come on people, I shouldn’t even need to tell you to stay away from this travesty of food! Margarine makes a poor replacement for butter, not only because we now know that saturated fat is good for our health (meaning grass-fed butter is no longer off-limits to the health-conscious eater), but also because it’s loaded with harmful trans fats, free radicals from hydrogenated vegetable oils, preservatives, emulsifiers and toxic solvents. Believe me when I say that you are most definitely not making the healthy choice when you reach for the marge!
