Pure butter does not contain transfats, but does contain cholesterol. Transfats are artificially hydrogenated fats which are found in margarines and also in a lot of bakery food, as you say.

Personally I eat red meat in quite large quantities, butter rather than margerine and prefer fries to mash any day.
 
My cholesterol levels are healthy and I have low normal blood pressure.  At age 60 I am disgustingly healthy and on no medication whatever.  Tests have also showed that my arteries are clear.
 
A vegetarian diet makes me quite ill and anaemic after a short period of time.  Eating wheat flour products causes me to retain fluid.
 
My husband tends to avoid fat like the plague, except that he adores ice cream, but he suffers from both high blood pressure and hypercholesterolism, conditions which run in his family, and which are satisfactorily controlled with drugs.
 
The main difference between us is that I am blood group "O" and he is blood group "AB".
 
There is a lot of research that has been done on the influence of blood type over digestive processes by Dr D'Adamo.  The genes for blood group are in the same area as the genes for digestion and he believes that, effectively, your blood group determines the requirements of your digestive system, and these can be totally opposite in some cases for different blood groups. 
 
For example, group "O" persons will probably thrive on the Atkins diet, while it would probably not suit group "A"s at all.
 
I certainly find weight control and general health and well being much easier to attain by following Dr D'Adamo's guidelines for group "O" people.
 
If anyone wants to follow up on his research on nutritional requirements for the different blood groups, his website is www.dadamo.com.

  • Avoid eating all kind of oily & fried foods including burgers & pizzas,

  • No sugar-y/sweet foods e.g., cakes, chocolates, fizzy drinks etc,

  • Say no to red meat &

  • Say Yes to Fish, brawn bread, No-sugar juices, water etc are good.

P.S: I do have list of food combination to be used for different types of people depending on their lifestyle, body demands but since I can't examine or know that about you clearly, So, you need to Consult your doctor for that, he'll suggest you best combinations after examining you.
Good Luck!
