What is worse - margarine or butter?

[Xidicadyn]

I know, I know – butter is death. But listen me out please – what is better, margarine, or normal butter? What is the difference between them? Is any of them healthier?

 

[Lev Butlerov]

In spite of the popular belief that margarine is worse, it is in fact better. Unlike butter, it is made from vegetable oils, so it is composed by unsaturated fats, which are the healhier ones. They can in fact decrease LDL – the bad cholesterol. The situation with butter is opposite. So if I chose one, it would be margarine.

Do you think margarine is a good source of healthy fats then? What other sources are good?

depends on who you ask. a lot of people will say butter is healthier and will point to studies that are sponsored by the dishonest dairy industry which has lied for years about the benefits of dairy

in the end both have the same amount of calories which is a SHITLOAD and both should be avoided as much as possible! use a good quality coconut spray to oil up your pan instead, 0 calories
