The conclusion portion of the article's abstract reads:
Neither margarine differed from butter in its effect on HDL cholesterol or triacylglycerols. Thus, consumption of TFA-M or PUFA-M improved blood lipid profiles for the major lipoproteins associated with cardiovascular risk when compared with butter, with a greater improvement with PUFA-M than with TFA-M.

In the Results section, if you don't feel like reading the entire experiment:
After consumption of the butter diet, mean LDL-cholesterol concentration was 5.2% (0.17 mmol/L) higher than after consumption of the TFA-M diet (P = 0.005) and 7.2% (0.2
mmol/L) higher than after consumption of the PUFA-M diet (P<0.001). There was an average 1.8% (0.06 mmol/L) decrease in LDL cholesterol after consumption of the PUFA-M diet compared with the TFA-M diet (P = 0.017).
Total cholesterol followed a pattern similar to that of LDL cholesterol. After consumption of the butter diet, mean total cholesterol was 3.6% (0.18 mmol/L) higher than after consumptionof TFA-M (P = 0.009) and 5.7% (0.28 mmol/L) higher than after consumption of PUFA-M (P< 0.001). Mean total cholesterol decreased 2.0% (0.10 mmol/L) after consumption of PUFA-M compared with TFA-M (P = 0.010).
There were no significant differences among the diets for HDL cholesterol, HDL2 and HDL3 cholesterol fractions, and triacylglycerols (Table 5). The ratio of total to HDL cholesterol
decreased by an average of 3.9% (P = 0.032) after consumption of the PUFA-M diet compared with the butter diet (Table 5).
There were no significant differences in this ratio between the butter diet and the TFA-M diet or between the PUFA-M and TFA-M diets. A similar significant decrease was observed in the
ratio of LDL to HDL cholesterol after consumption of PUFA-M compared with the butter diet (6.1%, P = 0.023). There were no significant differences among the diets for apo A-II concentrations. Apo A-I was significantly lower after consumption of PUFA-M than after TFA-M (Table 5). There was no difference in apo B concentration after consumption of the butter diet compared with the TFA-M diet; however, apo B was lower after PUFA-M than after both TFA-M (P = 0.002) and the butter diet (P< 0.001).
Differences in LDL particle size after consumption of the spreads were <0.5%, and were considered to be biologically unimportant. The largest LDL particles were associated with the
butter diet (21.0 ± 0.06 nm). LDL particle size for both the TFAM and PUFA-M diets was 20.9 ± 0.06 nm.

So this study proved in this case of 45 participants that using butter instead of margarine increases LDL (bad) Cholesterol levels. Many other studies corroborate this with similar results.

Savor is not butter and Microsoft is putting it in the more upscale Chili's takeout culture

Good luck not getting your arteries clogged at Qdoba and Chikfala.

What I'm interested in is the industrial trans fats.

Although the warning against dietary cholesterol was revised in 2015, the warning has remained to limit saturated fat to 10% of energy but without guidance for limits on polyunsaturated fat. In 1961, the American Heart Association (AHA) defined saturated fat as “the fat in whole milk, cream, butter, cheese and meat” [2], and this definition has persisted. The DGA 2020 states the following: “Saturated fat is commonly found in higher amounts in high-fat meat, full-fat dairy products (e.g., whole milk, ice cream, cheese), butter, coconut oil, and palm kernel and palm oil” ([3], p. 44). However, this is a misleading description of “saturated fat” because it does not mention trans-fat products, such as margarine and shortening, which were historically conflated with natural saturated fat. Further, the DGA promoted the consumption of linoleic acid without limits. Recent reviews have addressed the lack of evidence that saturated fat in general or in specific foods, such as milk and eggs, causes cardiovascular disease (CVD) or that reducing saturated fat intake lowers CVD risk, the importance of LDL-C particle size and distribution pattern in CVD rather than level of total LDL-C, and the importance of the food matrix and overall dietary pattern which affect digestion, absorption, and other properties of specific nutrients [4,5,6]. Other critiques have focused on exposing reliance on insufficient evidence [7], food industry pressure [8], and biases and conflicts of interest [9,10] in the formulation of dietary guidelines. This historical review will trace the evolution of this hypothesis, its role in the development of dietary guidelines, and its failure to differentiate natural sources of saturated fat from industrial trans-fats and to place limits on polyunsaturated fat.
