Butter is a popular product found on grocery store shelves and in branded refrigerators. Many start their morning with him. It is difficult to imagine a festive feast without butter. What makes this product popular? The answer is simple: composition.
Vitamin Composition of Oil
Butter is a storehouse of vitamins, macro- and microelements that are necessary for the human body. The composition of the product contains fatty acids that normalize blood cholesterol, participate in cell renewal, and reduce the risk of cancer. Milk fat is rich in vitamin A, the deficiency of which leads to metabolic disorders, to a decrease in the protective function of the body, to a deterioration in the quality of vision, and acceleration of the aging process. Oil is a source of antioxidants, iodine, vitamin K, E, D. A natural product improves the condition of hair and skin, normalizes the thyroid gland, nourishes and stimulates the intestines, protects it from developing infections.
Disputes about the benefits and harms to the body
How much does butter cost? At low cost, the beneficial properties of milk fat in the composition of the product are constantly questioned. People who follow the principles of healthy eating actively urge the population to abandon the use of an animal product. Their position is supported by the argument that butter raises blood cholesterol, promotes the development of atherosclerosis, thrombosis, heart disease, but with moderate use, a natural product without the addition of vegetable fat can benefit the human body.
Butter Tips
Do customers often think about how much butter is worth? Does the price affect its quality? When choosing a creamy product, you can trust reviews or follow a few tips.
