What's the difference between butter and margarine?!


Question: What's the difference between butter and margarine!?
Answers:
"Butter is a much older food product than margarine!. Butter is produced from the fatty cream of cow's milk, although other animal milks can be used!. Churned butter is composed almost entirely of saturated fat, along with a significant amount of natural cholesterol!.

Margarine, on the other hand, is a manufactured food product designed specifically to be a butter substitute!. The normally liquid vegetable oil is solidified through a process involving hydrogen gas bubbles passing through the mixture!. The result is a solid butter substitute with no cholesterol and little if any saturated fat!.

Butter is often more expensive than margarine, and the difference in flavor or texture between butter and margarine can be very subtle depending on the quality of the brand names used!."
