<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Butter and margarine are used as a spread on bread and for cooking and baking. While some people swear by the rich flavour of butter, others consider margarine to be the healthier alternative. So which is better, butter or margarine?
\n\n<\/p>\n
Butter contains a lot of saturated fatty acids. Excessive consumption of saturated fatty acids is unhealthy. Fats in food are a mixture of three groups: saturated fat, monounsaturated fat and polyunsaturated fat. The different types of fatty acids have different effects on blood cholesterol levels. Saturated fatty acids raise cholesterol levels and therefore increase the risk of heart disease.<\/p>\n
To reduce the intake of saturated fatty acids, you should limit fatty meat, butter, coconut oil, palm oil, industrial baked goods such as biscuits and pastries and fried foods.<\/p>\n
\n
However, even though margarine is considered to be healthier for cholesterol levels, not all types are equally healthy. The production of vegetable fats produces so-called trans fatty acids (TFA or TFS), which behave similarly to saturated fatty acids and increase the bad cholesterol in the blood (LDL).
When buying margarine, you should make sure that the total amount of saturated and unsaturated fats does not exceed 1.5g per 100g. The best types of margarine contain less saturated fat and more unsaturated fat.
Margarine enriched with plant-based ingredients is healthier because the plant sterols block the body's absorption of cholesterol and thus reduce the cholesterol level in the blood. Varieties containing rapeseed oil, olive oil, sunflower oil, maize and soya are good.<\/p>\n
However, butter is more suitable for cooking and baking than margarine. Apart from the rich buttery flavour, the fats in margarine are damaged at high temperatures and can produce carcinogenic substances.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
