    Margarine, as long as it is polyunsaturated, and contains NO trans fats. Butter is high in saturated fat and will always be bad for you. Some good margarines are Smart Balance, and Olivio (my personal fave). Btw.. I'm an MD. For more info, click the link below for Wikipedia's page on Trans Fats. It has an excellent discussion of the evidence linking trans fats to human disease.
