Just wanted to note that the claim in the Snopes piece that many margarines have no trans fat is sort of misleading. Manufacturers were given the loophole of claiming any amount less than 1 gram as zero, but if a substance has .5 grams/serving and a person eats several servings/day, the amounts can add up fast. Also, the claim that butter contains cholesterol should be ignored, considering that there is no evidence whatsoever that consuming dietary cholesterol will raise blood levels, or that even raised blood levels, per se, cause heart disease.
