Actually fat slows the absorbtion of sugars into your body and helps your body digest it. It also triggers insulin production which also allows your body to efficently process glucose based sugars aka. Carbs. Carbs are fine so long as they're always consumed with fiber and fat. It's fructose-glucose sugars that need to be limited particularly in liquid form.

For someone trying to maintain a healthy body type I would recommend butter, real butter on your toast (which should be whole grain) any day over margerine (which is harmful in other ways). And allowing 2% milk at least, never 1% or skim. I would recommend yogurt with fat (none of this fat free crap) of at least 1% for a breakfast sized serving. And avoiding artifical sweeteners.
