Butter may contain some trans fats. However it is usually less than most margarines which contain hydrogenated oils.
If concerned with trans fats, there are trans fat free products usually made from olive oils which contain the same buttery taste, but are much healthier.

Why are cis fatty acids rearranged to trans fatty acids in the process of partial hydrogenation?
CIS fatty acids are the most common form. They rearrange to form trans fatty acids during the hydrogenation of edible oils.
Unsaturated fatty acids that have changed to saturated fatty acids are called?
trans fat
What is a by product of hydrogenation?
trans fatty acids
What is a by-product of hydrogenation?
trans fatty acids
Can all fatty acids be synthesized in the body?
No, not all fatty acids can be synthesized by the body. The body is not capable of synthesizing polyunsaturated or trans fatty acids.
What acid present in litchi fruit?
Litchis contain a lot of Protein & Amino Acids. They also give us essential fatty acids like Omega - 3 and 6 fatty acids, trans-polyenoic fatty acids, trans-monoenoic fatty acids etc.
How does Trans Fatty Acid influence Heart Disease?
Yes, and is actually worse than the sys form of fatty acids. The only difference between sys and trans fatty acids are the angles of the molecules. In nature, only sys fatty acids are made, but through chemistry (or through over heating oils), we are able to make trans fatty acids. The problem is that your body can only recognize the sys form. So if you have sys fatty acids in your body, your body knows how to remove them, but if you have trans fatty acids in your body, your body doesn't know how to remove them. As a result the trans fatty acids build up in your system and can cause heart disease. Sys fatty acids can cause heart disease also, but since your body is constantly removing them, it forms slower than the trans form.
DOES trans fatty acids help lower LDL cholesterol levels?
No, trans-fatty acids raises LDL and lowers HDL. Omega-3 Fatty Acids help reduce LDL and raise HDL. Omega-3 Fatty Acids are found in fish, flaxseed, nuts and soy.
What has the author Benjamin Borenstein written?

When polyunsaturated oils are hydrogenated?
trans fatty acids are produced?
Are trans fatty acids made by the body in large quantities?
no
What does the term 'polyunsaturated' on a margarine container mean?
It means that this margarine contains (one or more) types of polyunsaturated fats.Polyunsaturated fats are triglycerides in which the hydrocarbon tails constitutes polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) (fatty acids possessing more than a single carbon-carbon double bond)."Unsaturated" refers to the fact that the molecules contain less than the maximum amount of hydrogen. These materials exist as cis or trans isomers depending on the geometry of the double bond. 'Cis-bond' fats are more healthy than trans-fats.Some types of PUFA's:Omega-3,6 fatty acidOmega-3, 6, 9 fatty acidConjugated linoleic acid
