Forbid Dalda Additives/Alternatives or
FDA
I have just inherited an allergy from my grand children. They are allergic to Dalda and such. I did a quick check and found to my horror that MOST BAKERY PRODUCTS ARE LOADED WITH DALDA OR VANASPATI. Also ADIGAS USE DALDA.
And this thing is deadly dangerous. It is better to eat asli ghee and get clogged arteries rather than eat these alternatives called Transfats and be run over by disease. This is my educated view. Please read below. Both McDonald's and Burger King advertised in 2007 that they would eschew Transfat. Some comfort for some of us.
Can you think of adulteration in this thing? Read about the Jain Shudh Vanaspati story. Their Vanaspati was adulterated apparently with Beef Tallow. So no salvation here or hereafter!
Another Shudh Adulteration story.

Quote from the Times of India:
Difference between margarine and butter:Both Margarine and butter contain the same amount of calories present in them. On the contrary butter contains natural fats, which are essential for the strengthening the bones and has many nutritional benefits.
Ill-effects of margarine:Excess intake of margarine can worsen illnesses such as colitis and arthritis. The hardening agents used in the production of margarine include nickel and cadmium. Nickel is a toxic metal that when consumed in excess, causes lung and kidney problems. Cadmium is among the most toxic of the heavy metals. It may contribute to serious diseases such as arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure and malignancy. The study conducted at Harvard University, found that a diet high in trans-fat, which doubles the chance for heart attack and decreases life expectancy.
