Is it possible, at all times and to choose good? Let's consider in turn each of the products and will draw conclusions.
Butter- vysokozhirny food product, which is made from milk cream. The fat and other substances of butter have an exceedingly high digestibility (96-97%). The composition of butter are contained in milk protein, carbohydrates, vitamins A, D and E, minerals and water. Because of little, natural oil contains trans fat (8%) and cholesterol.
IMPORTANT: fatty acid isomers (trans fats) can be natural or manufactured artificially. Natural trans fats occur naturally as a result of ability to live bacteria multichamber stomach of ruminants and retained in meat and dairy products in an amount of 5-8%.
Spread-cream and vegetable mixture - it is a food product that is made from natural vegetable oils and butter. For manufacturing spreads, butter blends, or blended with a vegetable, which translates into a solid consistency by means of the transesterification process. The use of this modern process avoids the formation of large amounts of trans fats. Thanks to the vegetable oil in the composition, cholesterol spreads and the mixture is minimal, and the spread and mixtures rich in valuable Omega 3, which is not synthesized by the human body, but it is essential for life.
Spreads and the mixture - this is a good alternative to butter and composition, and on the body influence, and price. Confirmation is a unique project of the Finns "North Karelia", which failed due to the partial substitution of the diet Power Spread butter and vegetable-cream mixture to reduce the level of cholesterol in the population to normal. As a result, the average life expectancy increased by 13 years, and the risk of cardiovascular disease decreased by 7 times. Today, the project "North Karelia" became known throughout the world and the example of the Finns followed by millions of Europeans and Americans.
IMPORTANT:The proportion of trans fats (artificial) in spreads limited to 8% by DSTU. The lower the percentage of trans isomers, the product is harmless to health.
