Is margarine better or butter?

Just wondering if we really have any good margarine available in the market with least cholesterol comparetively to butter?

Thanks!

From which perspective?
If health, then butter for sure

Margarine will never have native cholesterol because only food items derived from animal products can have cholesterol.
There is no plant source of cholesterol.
As for producing cholesterol within the body, that's a totally different matter.
Margarine induces production of cholesterol within the body because of damage caused by the compressed vegetable fats.
Also, the largest producer of cholesterol in the body is the liver and there is no way around it.

After reading these articles still I would go with Margarine, am using for few years now. The margarine I use is manufactured by Becel, it is having following qualities:

Carry “Health Check” sign by Heart & Stroke Foundation
67% less fat than regular Margarine
No Trans Fat
Non Hydrogenated
10 Gram carries only 25 calories
Only 2% Saturated Fat
And overall it taste same as butter!

Few things mentioned in those articles after spending so much of money can be proved wrong by a normal user easily.

Overall I find it much healthier than Butter =or Ghee and that’s what my doctor also recommend.

The manufacturer of Becel - Unilever - is one of the biggest sponsors/contributors of the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
These two organizations are simply scratching each other's back.
There is a huge conflict of interest here, just so you know.

Both are the best avoided. Butter occasionally is fine certainly not everyday. Margarine is nothing but chemicals.

Try some home made butter ( Makhan).

It is "one molecule away from plastic," a widely circulating email proclaims.
Even flies are smart enough to stay away from it.

I wish I get home made 'Makhan' here to enjoy with 'Parathe';)
