Alright peeps this might be an odd topic (sorry!) but just wondering if anyone have anything to say about the chemistry behind margarine. I choose this as my topic for my Chemistry in Everyday Life class and my paper is due Tuesday. I'm thinking of writing a bit on the history of margarine (it was created by a chemist!) as well as the chemical composition. Many margarines have different chemical compositions added to make it 'heart healthy' or 'lower calories' or 'lower fat' etc so this will also be looked at.


And if I haven't bored you... comments? or links to some decent articles? Thanks in advance! :)


Ps- please don't make this a "butter vs. margarine" forum, I know each have their pros and cons.
