Why you need to eat more butter

Margarine is highly toxic to the body, after reading this article you might just ditch it and choose butter. Butter as long as it’s organic, is very healthy for the body. Natural news discusses why you should incorporate butter in your diet and eliminate the margarine.

(NaturalNews) The marketing blitz that was launched in the past few decades that demonized saturated fats and made polyunsaturated fats (with special attention to vegetable oils like soy, corn, and cottonseed) the hero, struck a serious blow to our overall health. People started avoiding things like butter, beef, and full fat cream and started introducing thing like margarine and low fat dairy products.

Was this a good choice?

The case against margarine, the “darling” in the saturated fat attacks

To make margarine, a process is undertaken referred to as hydrogenation. This process turns polyunsaturated fats, which are normally liquid at room temperature into fats that are solid at room temperature. To make them, the cheapest oils are used such as soy, corn, cottonseed, or canola (which is genetically modified), and from their already rancid state due to the accepted extraction process, they are mixed with tiny metal particles, usually nickel oxide. The oil and its nickel catalyst are then subjected to hydrogen gas in a high pressure, high-temperature reactor.

From there, soap-like emulsifiers and starch are squeezed into the mixture to give it a nicer consistency, and the oil is then introduced to more high temperatures when it is steam-cleaned, to remove its unappetizing smell. From there, the margarine’s natural color (a stomach turning grey) is removed by bleach and dyes and strong flavors are they added to make it resemble butter.

Partially hydrogenated oils are even worse than highly refined vegetable oils due to the change in their chemical composition during the hydrogenation process. This altering of positions in the hydrogen atoms produces a transformation, which is rarely found in nature. Most of these man-made fats are toxic to the body, but your digestive system doesn’t recognize them as such. So instead of being eliminated from the body, they are adopted into the cell membranes. Your cells actually become partially hydrogenated! This wreaks havoc on cell metabolism and can cause serious diseases such as atherosclerosis, diabetes, obesity, immune system dysfunction, sterility, difficulty with lactation, and problems with bones and tendons.
