Is butter better, or might margarine be what you choose for your health?<\/p>\n

“People often wonder whether butter or margarine is the healthier choice, given their distinct nutritional profiles,” says Jillian Kubala, a New York-based registered dietitian of Gya Labs \u2013 a self-care brand.<\/p>\n

Butter and margarine are both go-to spreads for many Americans, but they aren\u2019t the same nutritionally speaking.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Butter is a dairy product; margarine is typically made from vegetable oils and water, often with added emulsifiers and flavorings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Before you slather a spread on your toast or slip some into the skillet, take a look at some health specs<\/a> of butter versus margarine.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Butter is a dairy product known for its rich, creamy taste, Kubala explains.<\/p>\n

“It primarily consists of saturated fat, which has been associated with an increased risk of heart disease<\/a> when consumed in excess,” she cautions.<\/p>\n

As the nutritionist breaks it down, a typical serving size of butter is one tablespoon, which provides the following:<\/p>\n

– Saturated Fat: 7.3g<\/p>\n

– Cholesterol: 31mg<\/p>\n

– Sodium: 86mg<\/p>\n

Margarine is designed as an alternative to butter, says Kubala, stressing that its nutritional content varies depending on the brand and type.\u00a0Many brands are plant-based,<\/a> though some on the market may contain animal products not suitable for a vegan diet.<\/p>\n

Per Kubala, the nutrition specs of margarine for a serving size of one tablespoon are generally as follows:<\/p>\n

– Calories: 101 kcal<\/p>\n

– Total Fat: 11.5g<\/p>\n

– Saturated Fat: 1.9g<\/p>\n

– Trans Fat: 0.2g<\/p>\n

– Sodium: 126mg<\/p>\n

In recent years, plant-based “butters” have become increasingly popular, and they may be a smart choice even if you\u2019re not vegan or don\u2019t suffer from dairy intolerance. “<\/p>\n

“If you’re seeking even healthier alternatives, consider plant-based butter substitutes or using olive oil on bread,” says Kubala, adding that plant-based butters are typically low in saturated fat and olive oil is rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Plant-based “butters” are typically made from various vegetable oils<\/a> such as coconut, soy or avocado.\u00a0<\/p>\n

To make them taste more like butter and have the right texture, emulsifiers and flavorings are often added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Like traditional butter, you can use vegan butters for spreading, cooking or baking.<\/a><\/p>\n

Of the plant-based alternatives to butter, olive oil is your best bet for your health as it\u2019s the least processed, Kubala notes.<\/p>\n

One study published in 2022 in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, found that people who consume more than half a tablespoon (7 grams) of olive oil per day have been found to have a lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease, cancer, neurodegenerative disease and respiratory disease.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Researchers also found that people live longer when they replace 10 grams per day of margarine, butter, mayonnaise and dairy fat, with olive oil, Fox NEws Digital previously reported.<\/p>\n

Like many discussions in the realm of nutrition, there isn’t necessarily a cut-and-dry verdict, notes Kubala.<\/p>\n

“When it comes to choosing between butter and margarine, the answer isn’t black and white. Both have their pros and cons. Butter is a natural product but is high in saturated fat, which can negatively impact heart health,” says Kubala.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“On the other hand, margarine is lower in saturated fat and cholesterol but may contain trans fats, which are also associated with heart disease,”<\/a> she continues, noting that if you buy margarine, opting for one labeled as trans fat-free is advisable.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Whatever you do, Kubala emphasizes that you should always read labels, check for trans fats, and prioritize moderation when using either spread.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“For more personalized guidance on nutrition and dietary choices, consulting a registered dietitian is a wise step toward better health,” she says.<\/p>\n
