Which is healthier for you Margarine Butter vegetable oil organic butter?

Answer 1

1. margarine is the worst, its actually grey in colour and they have coloured it yellow to look like butter.
2. All naturally produced fats are needed by the body and they are all good in moderation, and in a fully balanced diet.
3. Vegetable oil is used in a lot of everyday products so you should not use them as you already have enough. Stay away from Hydrogenated fats as your body cannot use them - man-made by a process of extreme heat and pressure as this is cheaper than using natural fats.
4. Despite what Chinese whispers go around saturated fats are good for you in moderation. They are solid and very strong which is why they are very good for cooking with as their goodness does not get destroyed. This is why butter or a substance with more saturated fats such as lard should be used for frying or cooking at high temperatures. You can actually buy pure saturated fats in a jar for cooking with.
5. Oil is a delicate fat, and contains monounsaturated fats. There are very good for you, but all the goodness gets destroyed at high temperatures.
6. Fish oils - Omega oils are essential to a balanced diet. The only way to get enough is either through a supplement, or eating a portion of fish a day.
7. Organic tends to be better than regular, but it is not policed very well and the restrictions on calling your food Organic are varied so beware of paying a higher price for not much difference.

In closing, of your choices butter is better for cooking at high temps, oils such as Flax-seed or Olive are better for salads/spreads etc.
