Does Margarine Have Dairy? Is Butter Better?

No, margarine does not have dairy. If there is any trace of dairy in it, it will be very small and not nutritional. Unlike real butter, margarine is made from seed or vegetable oils with a high amount of Omega 6s that can cause inflammation. Don’t substitute margarine. Real butter is always better!
