Do you use real butter instead of margarine?
Margarine is partially hydrogenated oil, a form of unhealthy trans fat. Cell membranes composed of trans fat are more “rigid” than those made from healthy sources of fat such as blue-green algae, olive, and coconut oils. Fluid cell membranes are essential for optimal cell-to-cell communication, which reduces the risk of many prevalent and dangerous diseases, including cancers, and other pro-inflammatory conditions.
There are plant-based options that do not contain harmfully hydrogenated oils such as the Nutiva Organic Buttery Coconut Oil, Miyoko’s Kitchen Cultured Vegan Butter, Pure Blends Vegan Butter, and Earth Balance brand.
Real butter is a much healthier choice than margarine. Organic butter is a healthier alternative. Choose plant-based butter alternatives without hydrogenated oils or regular organic butter, instead of margarine, to limit exposure to unhealthy cell membrane-damaging fats and exposure to hormone-disrupting and neuron-damaging fat-soluble environmental toxins.
