Butter, or margarine: which is better for you?
It's not as simple as you might think!
SALUD Fats
When it comes to choosing between butter or margarine, it can be difficult to know which is better for our health. On the one hand, butter contains saturated fats, which we are told to limit because too much is bad for the heart. On the other hand, margarine is an ultra-processed food and sometimes contains trans fats, which are largely considered to be even worse than their saturated counterparts. Indeed, this is one food debate that has been going on for decades and, unfortunately, the complexity does not stop there.
