The usual turn around although I am sure there has been publicity about this before. I don't pay much attention to these hyped up articles any more as with this and wine etc but work on the principle of what we have eaten/ drunk for years can't be subject to these wild swings of good/bad. Possible exceptions glad to have fresh fruit and veg. Moderation in all things possibly is the key. Can't stand Flora.

I'm sure a little bit of butter can't be bad? We use a Sunflower oil spread, usually M&S's as its a good price. The other branded one we use, when it's on offer, is called Pure, again with Sunflower oil. Our granddaughter was very allergic to anything dairy when she was little and this was what we were recommended to get, plus we like it.

We started using spreads rather than butter 30 odd years ago as butter from the fridge was too solid to spread and butter left out tasted rancid to me after a few hours. Since the advent of spreadable butters this changed a bit although then cost became an issue! For the last couple of years I have used only butter (been leaning towards a Paleo way of eating) but OH still uses Benecol when we can afford it and whatever is cheap when we can't! Personally, I can't stand the taste of the cheap spreads but he doesn't notice it.

I use loads of better, margarine is a virtual chemical cocktail, even the so-called 'healthy ones'. After causing consternation among those that equate good fats with high cholesterol, I am pleased to see a turnaround.Our bodies need 'good' cholesterol, it fights the inflammation which is at the root of most illnesses.

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

I try to limit my use of spreads to just toast in the morning. I'm sure butter is better for you, but because I can't resist putting it on too thickly, I stick to Clover.

It's nonsense about all the things our parents and grandparents lived on quite happily and healthily, red meat, cheese etc. The problem is the volume of processed foods, snack food and take-aways the manufacturers have got us additionally hooked on. All full of fats, sugar, additives etc.

If I have toast or make a sandwich, which isn't very often for either, I use Utterly Butterly. This isn't because I don't like butter but because I always forgot to leave it out which meant I was trying to spread a solid lump of it on the bread.

I use rapeseed oil for cooking.
