I used to eat only butter, and more over the summer. Then my doctor said he wanted to put me on statins and I stopped butter cold. I haven't bought any margarine yet or similar pseudo butter, but I don't know if I'm going to buy any more butter. It's been mainly olive oil in terms of fat for me that I add to food in my kitchen. I cut out cheese too. Two months later my blood cholesterol had dropped like a stone.
I switched to an Atkinsesque diet including very low carbs, lots of meat, butter, fruit, and veggies. My blood cholesterol also dropped like a stone. I avoid hydrogenated anything including margarine and avoid HFCS. Exercise also helps of course.
There's a lot of strange views on margerine in this thread.
I buy Brummel and Brown, which is not only spreadable at fridge temps(w00t!), it's (relatively) healthy for you compared to butter.
Most "margerine" is just vegetable oil spread these days, and it's easy to find brands that don't contain any hydrogenated(trans) fats. Just look at the ingredients.
