butter

mike_b_284 · 04-11-2006, 11:20 PM

is butter bad for you? I have heard both yes and no. What is it, lard off of milk? is vegtable oil or corn oil or canola oil any better? I use it to cook with and don't put much on anything else.

Use olive oil.

Olive oil is better, but butter is better than margerine (however the hell that's spelled).

It's supposed to be an ingredient, not a meal...

...Not sure it has something to with the types of "fats".

I'd rather die eating real food than that manufactured oleo shit.

I think I heard margerine is very molecularly(sp) similar to crude oil.

True, margerine is terrible for you.

Depends on who you ask. Butter and margarine are both bad for you, really. They're just bad in different ways.

People tend to think simply "fat is bad," so when it comes to losing weight, they avoid fat and leave it at that. But the truth is that you need healthy oils.

There are substances in your liver called PPARs (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors), which help minimize inflammation in your arteries. And healthy oils stimulate PPAR production. Nuts (especially walnuts) contain healthy oils, as do most kinds of fish. We recommend species that are low in toxins and are not environmentally stressed: tilapia, cod, mackerel, herring, sardines, mahimahi, and line-caught salmon. We also recommend cooking with unprocessed vegetable oils like olive oil, grape-seed oil, walnut oil, and organ- ic canola oil. (Conventional canola oil is almost always sprayed with pesticides.)

The problem in America is that we eat predominantly unhealthy oils<—>saturated fats from four-legged animals and trans fats (like partially hydrogenated vegetable oils), which you see on food labels, in fried foods, and in most baked goods.

Now, why would the food industry want to kill us with unhealthy fats? Because healthy fats have a very short shelf life. Junk foods made with trans fats, on the other hand, can sit on your shelf for a year and they'll still taste good. (Which, aside from being unhealthy, is just creepy.) But your body has no way to process those aging trans fats, which don't lubricate the arteries the way good fats do.

Here's the rule, with just a few exceptions: Any fat that's a liquid at room temperature is good for you, and any fat that is solid at room temperature is bad for you. One caveat: Fats from four-legged animals (e.g., butter) are not ideal, but at least your body knows how to digest them (since our ancestors have been eating them for mil- lennia). You're much better off with animal fats than trans fats, which are a real away game from a human- digestion perspective.

I don't have anything against butter... I was just out and too lazy to go to the store.
