Becel is a type of margerine, and my main topping for bread.
I always felt guilty about using it, because
(a) it contains whey powder, so it's non-vegan
(b) I was always told that it was the most hydrogenated oil you could find
(c) I've been told it contains nothing good in it
In the case of (a), is whey powder as bad as dairy products? My rye bread also contains it. I'm also confused, because I know several vegans who use it.
For (b), I've just read "non-hydrogenated" on the side of our Becel package.
And disputing (c) is the claim on the package that Becel contains Omega-3 and Omega-6 polyunsaturated fats...which I understand is good.
In any case, I consume a lot of Becel. How healthy is it compared to, say, olive oil, soy cheese, and natural peanut butter?
If it's poison in disguise, then please let me know!
