Canyon Ranch nutritionist Jenny Flora told us that butter is better than margarine, and nutritionist Doug DiPasquale over at That's Fit.ca agrees. "Butter is better for you than any imitation butter spread and it always has been," he says.

Margarine and other fake spreads might be cheaper, but butter contains vitamin A, vitamin D, lecithin, vitamin E, selenium, iodine and short and medium chain fatty acids -- all essential for health. Margarine contains hydrogenated oils and trans fats -- and Flora says these are the ingredients we must pitch from our pantries.
