Is butter more natural than margarine?
Margarine, like butter is made from natural ingredients. Margarine is made from the oils of grains and beans, and butter is made from dairy fat. As an animal fat, butter contains dietary cholesterol and is relatively high in saturated fat. Margarines, on the other hand, do not contain dietary cholesterol because they are made from vegetable oils. These oils also contain higher proportions of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fat.
