BUTTER OR MARGARINE?

FOOD MYTH: Using margarine instead of butter will save calories

FACT: Butter and margarine have about the same amount of calories. But while margarine, made from vegetable oils, was created as a more healthful alternative to butter which contains cholesterol and saturated fat, some margarines are actually unhealthier because they contain trans fats which have even more adverse effects on cholesterol and heart health. If you choose margarine, look for trans fat-free brands
