Margarine, rich in trans and saturated fats, adversely affects
cholesterol, raising the bad and lowering the good. Opting for healthier
oils or real butter is a smarter dietary choice.

  out of date i think...  trans fats have been put aside
for years.

#7: Butter
Butter consumption should be moderated, particularly as we age. It’s
delicious on toast or pasta, but can significantly elevate cholesterol
and heighten heart disease risk if indulged in too frequently

  genetics plays a big role in this.  some people can eat
saturated fats and not have heart problems.  i'd say the
whole article may be out of date at this point.
