I found something about "butter vs. margarine"....
The controversy over butter and margarine regarding which should be used as a spread or for cooking rests on how many cholesterol, saturated fats, and trans fatty acids each has.
Butterfat contains 2-5% trans fatty acids, and butter has high levels of cholesterol and saturated fat. The FDA states that healthy people should not consume more than 200mg of cholesterol each day and butter has 33mg of cholesterol in each tablespoon. A healthy range of saturated fat intake is 10-15g each day. One tablespoon contains over 7g of saturated fat. For this reason, some people recommend that you should limit butter in your diet. This formula is called into question when foods that are very low in saturated fat, yet high in cholesterol, like shrimp, are factored into the equation. Studies have shown that actual cholesterol consumption isn't the direct cause of high cholesterol, rather it is saturated fat consumption.
Vegetable shortenings do not contain any cholesterol and have only 3g of saturated fat per tablespoon. However, they are high in transfatty acids.
Margarine contains no cholesterol and has low levels of saturated fat, but some products have high trans fat levels. Stick margarine contains the most trans fat; tub or liquid margarine has about two-thirds less. Trans-fat-free varieties of margarine in a tub form are available, however as noted above even products legally labelled as containing "zero grams" of trans fat may still contain this substance.

My bf annoys me with this because i always suggest we buy some margarine because of the price but he is so against it! He always buys butter because it's healthier and better but it's too expensive sometimes...
