I always look on snopes.com to see if this stuff is true. According to the site, the health information given is true, BUT:

"Although a great deal of the information given in the e-mail is valid, one bit of intelligence is nothing more than hyperbole tossed in by the author in an effort to make his point more strongly. The claim that some comestible is but a "single molecule away" from being a decidedly inedible (or even toxic) substance has been applied to a variety of processed foods, but that type of statement (even if it were true) is essentially meaningless. Many disparate substances share similar chemical properties, but even the slightest variation in molecular structure can make a world of difference in the qualities of those substances. "

I can tell you why I use it. I have a kosher home, so we don't mix meat and dairy. Some varieties of margarine are made without dairy products, so we are able to use it as a butter substitute.
