Experts have different opinions about margarine
and butter, and there is a big argument about which
one is better for you. The truth is that margarine today
is better than it was in the past beca use producers use
a different tvpe of vegeta ble oil. Butter still contains
a lot of animal fat. Margarine today contains less fat
which mak.es it healthier than butter.
