This week?s food hysteria came and went in a matter of hours. The frantic declaration that margarine and non-dairy spreads could cause heart problems and be ?worse for you? than butter was followed almost immediately by a debunking.
Research published in the British Medical Journal suggested that [specifically] middle-aged men may be increasing their chances of developing heart disease by eating margarine rather than butter - but the findings are from 40 years ago and have only just been comprehensively analysed, so might have to be taken with a pinch of low-sodium condiment. The NHS sniffly rebuffed it on its website pronto.
