A member asked:
Which is "better for a person taking chloresterol medication--margarine or butter? are there any major clinical studies out there?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neither: Use olive oil. Margarine has transfats and butter has saturated fats, both of which are bad. You may consult this site. http://www.med.umich.edu/umim/food-pyramid/fats.html
