With much having been studied and written concerning the butter versus margarine debate, it is a wonder why the argument still rages. While examining which foods to eat are better, building a rationale for why we should be using margarine at all if we truly have nutritional concerns is akin to making a defense for hot dogs as a health food: regardless of how you slice it margarine will not be beneficial for our bodies. So to establish which foods to eat are better, first we'll look at margarine, followed by butter.As for margarine, what is it that ought to remove it from being something we should eat? While the inherent harm of margarine, unlike cigarette smoking, is not clear, one would become more doubtful if we were to look at the process by which it is produced. There is nothing natural about it, as the process begins with cheap oil, like cottonseed oil, and is sent through the hydrogenation process, where hydrogen molecules are forced into oil molecules under extreme heat and pressure, with the use of nickel as a toxic catalyst. It is then bleached and deodorized, artificially flavored and colored with yellow dye. The whole procedure does not give off pleasant thoughts. Some advocates of margarine claim that there is a lower trans-fat choice with soft margarine, which again using the cigarette analogy is like saying low tar cigarettes are good for you. What we all must attempt to feed ourselves is natural, not manufactured, products that our bodies due to many generations of evolution are intended to ingest.
Butter, when choosing which foods to eat are better, compared to margarine has the same amount of calories. It raises the absorption in our bodies of many additional nutrients, and has dietary benefits in itself, plus it tastes better than margarine and enhances the flavor of other foods. Where it has historically taken a hit is its slightly elevated content of saturated fats. Butter being from animals will score lower on fat-loss scale than products derived from plants, but there exists fresh data that this doesn't have to be an inevitable disqualifier. If consumed moderately, saturated fats actually can help in the body in the utilization of Omega 3. Furthermore, recent investigation has suggested that the small amount of natural Tran's fats in butter can be beneficial for health, and have anti-cancer components. Lastly, if you utilize organic butter, which is, butter that contains no pesticides or antibiotics, it scores not at all poorly in its health benefits versus its dangers. It looks like we can logically suppose that the controversy over the health benefits of butter will continue as new information and research comes available.
So when selecting which foods to eat are better, butter or margarine, our opinion could not be clearer: stay away from margarine at all costs. Butter, especially organic, is okay, so long as it's used in moderation and if you are intent on using one or the other. On the other hand, in our examination of which foods to eat are better we have found that for cooking or the preparation of any foods where the option presents itself, we find that olive oil is the best way to go. It's a staple for the Mediterranean Diet and its healthiness benefits are becoming more pronounced. But be aware that olive oil is high in calories, so use it moderately, and as well bear in mind you cannot make unhealthy foods healthy merely by adding olive oil to them.
