butter or margarine? the eternal question which is better?
Nobody can deny that margarine is cheap and easy to spread and that the butter has better fame and a characteristic flavour. The first is obtained from various vegetable oils, while the second exclusively from milk or cream obtained of the fights, but which is healthier?
A study of the EROSKI-CONSUMER magazine them has been tested and the results were striking, specially for the advocates of the natural, with the elaborate: for normal consumption the margarine is healthier. how is it possible? apparently margarines have a fat percentage much lower on average in comparison with the butter, while the Ligeresa and Artúa marks are 40% and 57% respectively, the butter reaches 83%. And that without taking into account that the margarine have less saturated fat (harmful to the heart), barely 30%, compared to 70% of the butter, margarine difference, if they have cholesterol (250 mg / 100 g).
This makes by every 100 g take margarine, involving 500-550 Kcal and the butters 748 Kcal. This has to do the amount of water that have both, margarine has almost a half (44%) is water and butter only 15%. If the butter has no additives and its salt amount is ten times smaller than the margarine, although in both cases is really low.
