It depends on whether it's a vegetable or animal material.

According to the above source, it is as follows.
Butter is an emulsified fat that is made by stirring cream separated from milk and remains solid at refrigerated temperatures.
Margarine is a substitute for butter and is a product that partially solidifies liquid vegetable oil.
Add salt, pigment, and vitamins A and D to taste similar to butter.
Margarine is not animal fat and is cheap, but it has the disadvantage that trans fats can be produced in the process of hydrogenating liquid vegetable oil.

Margarine is made by adding hydrogen to vegetable oil, and butter is made from milk.

The way to make butter is
If you squeeze the crude oil and leave it as it is, the cream will form on the top.
If you extract this part separately and keep stirring, it becomes butter.
Margarine is made from animal and vegetable oils.
It was developed because it became difficult to supply butter to soldiers and factory workers in Europe in the 19th century.
Margarine has become more delicious with various additives, and more people choose margarine over butter.
Although margarine is cheaper than butter, it is recommended not to eat it as much as possible because it is trans fat in solidified cured oil.

One of the differences between the two is the price.
Margarine is one-tenth the price of butter.
Butter is made from milk and margarine is made by curing hydrogen in oil, so margarine must be cheap.

Butter is made from the cream part of milk.
In the case of margarine, emulsifiers or various additives are added to vegetable oil and hardened with hydrogen.
Emulsifiers and various additives are bad, but it is harmful to the body as trans fats or saturated fats are made by solidifying oil.
These days, there are 0g of trans fat margarine.
Not only is it a trans fat problem, but it is also a saturated fat with solidified oil, so it is better not to eat it unconditionally.
But if you make liquid margarine, it's no longer margarine.

Margarine used to be made with animal oil, but when it was said that animal oil was bad, now it is made with vegetable oil.
But it's not a problem, it's a solidified saturated fat.
Solid oil is made because it is good for storage and mobility, but saturated fat is not good for the body regardless of animal or vegetable, so it is not recommended to eat it.

Both are high in trans fat.
Trans fat is a substance that has been artificially created recently by chemical reactions, so there is no way to decompose it in the body, so it is not easily discharged from the body.
So, it's better not to eat it as much as possible because it's easy to accumulate in the blood vessels.
