Butter isn’t actually that bad for you. There was a botched study that was later refuted, but not before the margarine industry had an epic all-out war with the butter industry where both sides did shady shit. (Like, at one point the butter lobby succeeded in making it illegal to color margarine yellow.)
Isn’t it a known fact that vegetable fats like canola oil are way healthier than animal fats? I’m not sure how they make margarine to be honest, but I’ve always heard from multiple reputable sources that cooking with canola oil was way healthier than butter.
From what i understand … it depends. Margarine can be healthier, but it’s also not regulated, so you can pack a lot more trans fats in margarine then butter. So margarine itself is not an indication of its health value.
