Here are a few links.

http://www.mercola.com/2001/jul/21/trans_fat.htm

http://www.dhn-online.org/freeIssue/transFat.html

and a very good article by Dr. Andrew Weil

http://www.naturodoc.com/library/nutrition/margbutt.htm

For me, I eat butter because I want to avoid trans-fats. Both prducts
contain saturated fats, margarine intake can lead to increased cancer
rates and can lower good choelesterol... neither is good for you and
butter (to me) tastes better. I buy only organic butter as the hormones
used in the cattle are stored in the fat cells which would concentrate
in butter and milk products...

There is a lot of info on the web and I would suggest not listening to
me, but doing your own research.

Hope that helps a little.
