Margarine is worse because it has trans fats. Butter has saturated fats which are bad for you, but the process of hydrogenating an oil to make it artificially hard (trans fats) is unbelievably harmful in terms of artheroscolorosis (the hardening of arteries). When that fat gets to your arteries it hardens to a plaque that's no match to the saturated butter fat. Trans fats are decievably technically "cholestrol free" because they're not from an animal source, but they bond to LDL and elevate your bad cholestrol sky high.

It depends on what context you're speaking of. If you are making cookies then margarine is definitely worse. Butter makes a softer, chewier cookie. I bake cookies often. There are many ingredients that will change the texture of a cookie. I always thought that I didn't have enough baking soda or eggs or flour at times. Then I made the exact same cookie dough.... Half with margarine and half with butter. The margarine cookies turned out flat and hard. The butter ones where perfect. Have a wonderful day!

Definitely Margarine. It is said that Margarine contains lots of trans fats and artificial ingredients...Rumours also say that Margarine is mad out of plastic...So butter is much better than Margarine!

Margarine - especially those with Trans Fats (very bad). Generally, natural items are better for us than the synthetic substances (shocking).

margarine is worse, because it is made up of chemicals and all artificially made ingredients, and butter is made up of animal fats.
