On BBC Breakfast this morning a leading Heart surgeon said that Butter should be banned because it contain about 60% saturated fats. Is he right to ask for the ban and do you use it. Myself I cant remember the last time I had butter, it must be 20 years so it wouldn't bother me if it was banned or not;)
 
don't use owt else only butter, margarine n the other fancy stuff is crap, will not affect me heart cos aint got one.
 
i only use unsalted butter when baking cakes for accylass and the rest of the research team:D
 
better to use a smattering of butter than some man made artificial tasteless crap IMHO.

humans have been digesting natural fats for thousands of years, trans fats etc were designed and heart disiese goes up, so much so that most manufacturers now are trying to remove them from their products.

I'll stick to good old cow juice fat thanks!
 
i am fed up with being told ,this is bad and that is bad,what should be banned is all these know it alls..
.I LOVE MY LURPAK,,,,
 
I use Anchor spreadable, so I presume that it's a slightly better option - could be crap for all I care, I just use it because I like the taste. :D
 
Those nasty trans fats are the ones described as 'hydrogenated' or 'partly hydrogenated' on the label.
Doing that increases their shelf life (and manufacturers profits), but they are harder to digest.
I agree entirely with Entwisi - natural fats are best.
I only use butter and olive oil in preparing food.

"Trans fats are much less well-known than saturated fats but are much more damaging. They are very bad for the heart, play a key role in the UK's very high levels of heart disease and contribute to a large number of the excess coronary deaths we have in this country,"

I keep some buter, for glazing vegetables etc.

Cabbage with margarine is disgusting, with a little butter and black pepper, divine.

Like most things, in moderation, if you enjoy them, they are good for you.

Also, it's not all bad.

'It is worth knowing also that while it is a saturated fat, not everything about it is bad. Butter contains natural antibacterial and antiviral properties, important for fighting those autumn colds and coughs.'

I still use butter but not as often as i used to. I never found the taste of any of the other spreads or margarines to be very good, however ive now started using the "I cant believe its not butter Light version" which actually does have a buttery taste, so mainly that now, but not all supermarkets stock it, and i have butter for a treat now and then!

I have been using CBINB for years Taggy and now use the Light version, its very good and does for me
 
If I could afford it I would use butter all the time, after all it has it's advantages when used in the correct proportions of a healthy diet.

Unfortunately most of my diet isn't healthy because bulk buying cheap sausages, mince and micro-wave meals stave off the hunger a lot better than buying little of the more expensive cut's that are claimed to be better for us.

Yeah, a friend told me about this and i was very surprised when i tried it as to just how good it actually tastes Jaysay, its equally good on hot toast too, and doesn't "emulisfy" like some low fat spreads do....i like it!

depends on if i get from the supermarket ... its butter but if i run out its the local shop its flora because thats all they sell ..:D:D:D
 
We made butter at nursery school, with full fat milk, straight from the cow's udder.

I can't believe it took so much churning.
 
It Always makes me laugh when people "Cherry Pick" information from the internet to justify their opinions! Thus relying on "Experts" who have provided this in the first place....then decrying other "Experts" who have opposing views!!...So the Expert who gives opnions on trans fats etc are more knowledgeable than those who give opinions on Butter are they??? Lol!!!....and Wikipedia of course only reports facts, and is the font of all knowledge....Not!!! :rolleyes:

End of day opinions are opinions, i cant see why anything cant be eaten, in moderation, i just eat what i like the taste of, no matter what others say!

I do not rely on Wiki for the sole source of info.
The fact that trans fats are now illegal in some countries should be enough of a warning light for you to do your own googling.
Here is another link in case you do not wish to use your time googling

Don't go telling her the truth Taggy, or you'll end up on her ignore list just like I occasionally am, (she can't resist having a quick peek which does make posting on here a touch confusing), keep your replies to her a simple, "of course you are correct, how silly of me to disagree with one so wise!".
Then carry on eating or ignoring to eat whatever you wish.
:D
