Margarine these days is mostly a mix of either palm or coconut oil with something like soybean or canola oil. I wouldn’t be surprised if butter had more naturally occurring trans fats.
The Wikipedia article linked on top states that most margarine has moved to lower trans-fats since the turn of the century. It’s probably at least as healthy as butter, if not moreso.
It’s hydrogenated cooking oil; trans-fats. It is absolutely not good to eat regularly.Apparently that’s no longer true. Thanks fellow lemmings for setting the record straight.
That said, I do appreciate it for it’s long shelf life and availability when better foods are expensive or unavailable.

this is outright misinformation, the swedish food safety department specifically says that modern margarine has basically no trans fats whatsoever.
