Actually butter is better than margarine in either case because margarine (most margarines) contain some trans fats and very high amounts of Omega-6 fatty acids, which are inflammatory and increase risk for heart disease. Butter is high in monounsaturated fat which is good for HDL levels. In fact, even saturated fat has been found to be good for cholesterol levels in women, and some men.
Is margarine better than butter?
There are two separate schools of thought on this, even in the medical profession. Butter is a more natural substance, but it contains saturated fats. Butter is known to increase both HDL (good cholesterol) and LDL (bad cholesterol). Margarine is made from vegetable oil, so it does not contain cholesterol. However, traditional margarine contains trans-fats to help firm the product. Trans-fats will raise your LDL. So, even though it does not contain cholesterol, it has a negative effect on how your body processes it. The American Heart Association says to go for the newer trans-fat free spreads (which are not as firm as butter or margarine) with low saturated fats. Many of the new spreads contain plant sterols, which can have positive effects on your HDL and LDL cholesterol levels. Smart Balance, Blue Bonnet Light, Country Crock Churn Style, Benecol, Promise, and Parkay are examples of these. No matter which you choose, use them sparingly.
