Not sure why I never replied to this before, perhaps I didn't notice the butter comment.
If you think margarine is unhealthy, even the trans-fat free kind made with omega rich oils, fine, but don't eat butter! Butter is one of the single worst foods to digest. there is no hard evidence that butter is any better for you than the whole grains you think aren't healthy. It is one of those things like Syl was talking about in this thread, some things may not have great proof. The cream from which butter is made is ridiculously high in cholesterol and saturated fat. If that doesn't scare you then why should the healthy margarines made with non-hydrogenated oils turn you off? Butter is both dairy and high in fat. The fat content alone would make it difficult to put any useful amount on food- whereas Smart Balance Light is low in fat enough to be able to spread it on decently.

"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
