I wrote a guest script for the Grammar Girl podcast, on reverse
"substitute" -- i.e. "substitute OLD for NEW" rather than "substitute
NEW for OLD," discussed here numerous times.

Links to Larry's example of "substitute saturated animal fats for
healthier vegetable oils," David Denison's 2009 paper on this topic, and
one of Arnold's blog posts.
