Butter or margarine?

Do a search on trans fat, which is basically what margarine is. Butter is a saturated fat, but it is 100% natural. The benefits of a few less calories far outweigh the artery clogging risks.

For years you've heard that eating saturated fat is like pouring superglue into your arteries. But the fact is, this forbidden fat actually increases your HDL (good) cholesterol, which helps remove plaque from your artery walls, decreasing your risk of heart disease.

Rock on, Girl! I eat Paleo which means cooking grassfed beef, pork, chicken, wild game, etc in pastured butter. I use Kerry Gold Irish butter along with coconut oil, bacon grease and sometimes lard. As long as I keep my carb intake under 50g's per day I don't need to watch calories and I'll continue to lose weight/drop bodyfat.

Butter or olive oil--sparingly, measured. I can't handle the idea of fake butter.

I like the taste of margarine more than butter, but I hate hydrogenated oils. So Smart Balance has been my go-to. Love the stuff.

There honestly aren't artery clogging risks in saturated fats - eat real butter and real fat. The stuff created in labs isn't what our body's are made to take.

Butter, everything else would make a better lubricant for diesel engines rather than being something you should eat. Although, I saw this movie recently involving 7 hot dogs and a stick of butter that was pretty amazing.
