What are the health benefits between margarine and butter?

Lilly asked:


I currently use margarine, but I have been hearing some bad stuff about it. I am thinking about switching to butter, but would like to know the health benefits between them both. Which one is better for you?

    Margarines are better for you because the saturated fat content is much lower than with butter. However I would avoid margarine with hydrogenated oils. Instead get a non-hydrogenated type like Earth Balance, which also provide healthy Omega fatty acids.

    The only benefit to margarine but butter also contains alot of fat cholesterol if you dont have problem with dietary concerns and artificial ingredients in margarine but.
    The taste is much better than margarine is for people with dietary concerns and its cheaper.
