What are the disadvantages of butter?

Answer 1

Butter made from cows that are fed grain, like the typical cow that is fed in America is not good for you. All the dairy from these cows is basically toxic to your body.

Butter made from cows that feed on grass and allowed to roam free range in pastures is VERY GOOD FOR YOU. It contains lots of butyric acid and nourish the cells of your large intestines. Butter has been used for centuries and is a stable fat made from cream with a wide range of short to medium and odd chain fatty acids as well as typical saturated, monounsaturated and some polyunsaturated fatty acids. About 15% short/medium saturated, 50% other saturated, and 30% monounsaturated fatty acids. Butter is also recognized as a great source for antimicrobial fats. It contains short chain fatty acids such as lauric acid (good for the thyroid) that disable many pathogenic viruses and other organisms, glycolipids that have anti-infective properties, and conjugated lioleic acid (CLA) that has anticarcinogenic properties (anti-cancer). Butter is definitely a fat with healthly properties.

Margarine is a fat product that is about 20% non-fat portion of a combination, water and salts of other solids and 80% fat. It is made by the hydrogenation process to alter various oils composition. When you put nickel in the oil and then bubble hydrogen through the oil, the weak double bonds in the oil break apart and the hydrogen saturates the molecule making the end product more solid. This garbage, when consumed, causes inflammation in the arteries and this is what causes hardening of the arteries.

Margarine was the brain child of the food industry when Ancel Keys promoted his "lipid hypothesis" that has been more than debunked by real science, showing thatsaturated fats are NOT bad for you. In fact, your brain is basically saturated fats and your heart runs on saturated fats. When you eat too much protein in your diet, your body converts the excess protein to saturated fats that are stored for later use as energy.

Butter is GOOD and Margarine is BAD. ALL of the margarine and so called "healthy spreads" are very bad for you and those that promote this junk have NO clue what they are talking about.

EDIT: People telling you that fat is not good for you to eat have been indoctrinated and need to get an education instead. Fat is where the body gets it's "SUSTAINED ENERGY" and if you become deficient in fat, your body cannot make endocrine cells.LOW FAT diets are very destructive to the body. In fact, the fat tissue in the body acts like an endocrine gland because it secretes Leptin, a hormone, that regulates the way the body utilizes insulin and glucagon and works in conjunction with the hypothalamus gland to regulate your metabolism. This is why so many people plateau when on a typical low fat diet and can't lose weight even when they reduce their calories greatly.

Eat lots and lots of butter from grass fed cows and you can actually lose weight doing this when combined with eating the right oils. Butter and Coconut oil are the only two fats that do NOT require bile to break them down and so they will give you not only sustained energy, but will go into your system quickly when eaten for more immediate energy. I personally would recommend butter over margarine, margarine has way to much fat.

Butter hasn't got much bad points as compared to Margarine. The only bad factor about butter is that it is high in fat and therefore can increase your cholesterol levels.
