what’s the deal with vegetable oil vs. butter? Is butter actually healthier?

475 viewsOther

I saw a video talking about how nature will reject a block of margarine, like bugs and stuff won’t eat it. But if you put a stick of butter out it will be eaten in hours. Is that just an unsubstantiated internet claim for controversy sake, or is that really the case?

Later, I read somewhere that recent studies found regular users of butter experienced reduced levels of cancer compared to regular users of vegetable oil. I don’t have these studies, but I’d also like to know if that’s a truthful claim or not as well. Thanks.

Speaking only about the margarine/butter and bugs part.

Margarine is made by mixing vegetable oil with water and a powder to make it stick together, on the other hand, butter is made by whipping the cream that floats to the top of fresh milk. When both get exposed to natural enviroments, butter will decay and emit the smell signature (because of the milk) that will atract bugs faster and more efficiently than hidrogenated oil with some chemical added to make it smell like butter.
