Soft or liquid margarine that contains 0 grams of trans fat is the best choice as it is lower in saturated fat compared to butter and does not contain trans-fatty acids, which can increase the risk of heart disease. Hard margarine and butter contain higher amounts of saturated and trans fats, which can increase LDL (bad) cholesterol levels in the body. It's important to read labels carefully and choose margarine that does not contain trans fats.
