Myth - Margarine is a healthier option than butter

Fact - Margarine ismade from vegetable oils, as opposed to butter, which contains cholesterol-boosting saturated fats. However, what margarine promoters happily ignore is that quite a few varieties are actually unhealthier because they are loaded with trans-fats, which can have more adverse effects on cholesterol and heart health than butter.
