Margarine
Margarine, typically perceived as a healthier alternative to butter due to its lower cholesterol and saturated fat content, can paradoxically contain trans fats and elevated sodium levels. These trans fats, known to increase LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and reduce HDL (“good”) cholesterol, pose health risks, potentially negating the perceived advantages of choosing margarine over butter. Also, the high sodium content in margarine can contribute to increased blood pressure levels, prompting concerns about its overall impact on cardiovascular health.
