Setting aside that butter can be fine in moderation for many people, but what's wrong with regular margarine? Isn't margarine a healthy alternative to butter?
How Is Margarine Manufactured and Here Is Why You Should Really Avoid Using Margarine.
Margarine is made of vegetable oils. Although that may sound well and good, unfortunately, our bodies don't recognize industrial vegetable oils as food.
Vegetable oils like canola, corn, soybeans, and safflower oils are highly processed by heating and then further processing. This processing may involve using de-waxing, petroleum-solvents, refining, de-gumming, deodorization, and there are several other unnatural-sounding terms. I'm quite sure that you could never replicate that in your own kitchen.
Less than a hundred years ago, human consumption of processed vegetable oils was practically non-existent. That is because we just didn't have the technology needed to process and extract these oils. But once we figured out how to extract these oils from plants on an industrial scale, the vegetable oil consumption skyrocketed.
And that will lead nicely to my next point.
As most vegetable oils are already highly processed, they need to be treated and processed even further to make margarine.
As you know, vegetable oils are not solid like butter is. To make vegetable oils solid for use in margarine, they will have to go through a process known as hydrogenation. This means that oils are heated on high pressure and then treated with hydrogen gas and a metal catalyst. And all that heavy processing will produce trans fats.
Food companies use this process to increase the product's shelf life, make margarine solid on room temperature, and save costs. However, our bodies tend to find these altered molecules very challenging to process.
Margarine, particularly stick margarine, contains a lot of these trans fats. These fats are often linked to various health problems. Also, according to the Food and Drug Association, these man-made fats are proven to be unsafe.
Also, unlike traditional butter, margarine contains fewer amounts of essential vitamins. While it is true that butter is high in fat and calories, it naturally contains several essential nutrients, including vitamins A and E.
Some margarine companies are incorporating these vitamins into their products through synthetic vitamins. However, these synthetic or other unnatural nutrients can actually cause more harm than good to our bodies. Studies have also shown that these synthetic vitamins are mostly ineffective and give you little or no benefit.
And like the trans fats, and other unnatural additives are not enough, margarine also contains high levels of omega 6. When consumed in large amounts, it may lead to many health complications. If you are worried about eating too many omega-6 fats, avoid eating margarine that contains sunflower, corn, or soybean oil, which are exceptionally high in omega 6.
And unfortunately, that is not all. Since margarine uses vegetable oil as a base ingredient, various researchers have found that most of these vegetable-derived oils contain GMOs, also known as genetically modified organisms.
So, before the processing of margarine can even start, the crops are already tampered with.
And lastly, aside from the synthetic and other unnatural forms of nutrients, some margarine manufacturers also use BHT or Butylated Hydroxytoluene to increase the product's shelf life. Although it is generally recognized as safe, it is still a lab-made product and not natural.
Ok, but what about butter?
As there could be many bad things said about butter, the manufacturing process of butter is considered to be quite simple.
It includes the pasteurization of cow's milk, skimming, and churning of the cream, until the butter is readily formed. The overall process is very simple, and you can even do these steps yourself at home.
On the other hand, the process of making margarine is so much more complicated. There is no way you could make margarine at home unless you set up a massive manufacturing-plant and purchase a lot of scary-sounding chemicals.
Luckily it's not that hard to stop eating margarine. However, you could run into problems if you are an avid baker, as most baking recipes require margarine in their list of ingredients.
So, if you want to go margarine free, including in your baking, follow the link at the beginning of this description below where you will find practical tips and tricks about substituting margarine in your baking recipes.

But has some negative side effects & margarine too. Now what should I eat? 🤦♂️
There have been many comments below suggesting I try to make my own margarine instead of buying store-bought ones, so I have been experimenting with many recipes. So, I do really get your dilemma, and I suggest trying one of these homemade margarine recipes. Don't worry, these are pretty easy to make and rather delicious: foodhow.com/how-to-make-margarine-at-home/
It's simple: If your grandma couldn't make it in her kitchen, you don't eat it.
@@SOFISINTOWN BRUHHHH
Natural butter still the healthiest choice. None of this garbage.
Replace butter with avocado - it's easy. Look into the process of how the cow's are milked day after day and the amount of feces and pus (usually from mastitis) that ends up in the milk - then they concentrate all of that stuff down into butter. It's wild
I just found out yesterday that the "butter" we've been consuming my whole life is actually margarine. The packaging says "buttermilk" so I just always assumed that it was butter but when I took a closer look at the wrapper it said "premium margarine" in small letters on the corner. It's been a while since I knew that buttermilk is actually different but it shocked me to know that I've been using margarine when baking instead of butter.
hahaha modern society everyone
Stop buying it. That company has tricked you for years.
Always know what you're eating.
sounds like you couldn't believe it's not butter
4 months ago I realized the difference between margarine and butter, I thought they were both the same thing 😂
As someone from poor third world country, as a kid, I always thought that margarine and butter is the same thing.
It wasn't until later that I found out that they're very different.
Butter is very expensive here, most people can't afford real butter.
Most store doesn't even sell butter, you have to go to the big supermarket to find butter.
Thank you for your comment and insight; I really appreciate that. Yes, it is so much cheaper to produce margarine.
Cheaper and healthier but butter is more luxurious
I've stopped using so much oil/fat, no matter the type. When added to carbohydrate rich meals, they put me to sleep! Lard, beef dripping and other animal fats are cheap (here at least), can be saved after cooking meat (even though I do not eat meat every day) and suffice for many purposes. Grilling, dry-frying, air frying and choosing a different meal entirely are good alternatives to frying in fat. Many sandwich fillings are moist enough that they are good without butter or marg.. I feel so much healthier having cut back.
What means "poor third world countries" , which are poor second word counries and poor first world countries?
@@dadatamoja6859 third world countries means developed or maybe even undeveloped countries, not literally in third position 😢
I eat a lot of butter with breakfast and actually lost weight because I no longer have cravings. I love Irish butter.
Toast with real butter is the best lol
That’s great!
Perhaps because animal fat is one of the most important thing we can consume. Well done, don't fall for the plant oil bs.
@@alanolympus2399 The real deal fats given by naturals ecosystem doesn't trigger insulin, unlike like MargarinEvil, canola oil, soybean oil, grapeseed oil etc..
Same, I did the carnivore diet for a yr. Lost 60kg, off all meds - the healthiest I'd ever been was doing the opposite to what the "health authorities" recommend.
That says a lot to me about our dodgy health advice!
Perhaps they want the masses sick and weak? It certainly makes me wonder!
"Though safe to consume, is unnatural" 😂
That statement is just a bogus statement. Even butter, cream, bread, ice cream, chocolate, any oil/fat, many legumes and beans, floor are not readily found in nature. Humans used their brain and invented them over time.
Like, for example, CHEESE, or any of the baked goods in this person's cook book.
My mother never liked margarine and we usually always used salted butter. For many in the post WW2 period, margarine became a new normal. And seriously, the more you know. If you know what margarine is, you really want to avoid it.
Well said, I agree entirely, thank you.
we used lard and butter
Lard is a very good option. Thank You.
My grandma a long time ago in the 50s used to go to another state to get margarine because it was illegal in Wisconsin at the time lol never been a fan.. I like butter
Yes, can't beat the butter :)
😨 Now I understand why my mom and aunties talk about vegetable oil and margarine so harshly. It's not that I didn't believe them, because ofcourse there usually right, its just that this stuff is so convenient, its actually more difficult not to use them. However now that I've done my own research, I'm going to try and cut out this bad habit of giving in to consumerism.🤢
Yes, indeed, I know exactly what you are saying. Your body will thank you for it once you stop eating that.
@@FoodHow 👁👁 😆 Hi 👋
This is so true, unfortunately this is easier said than done. Especially with this fast paced life we're all living.
There’s nothing bad that anyone can say about butter. Butter from grass fed cow milk is a super food.
Grass-fed butter is really nice indeed. It is a good source of vitamin A, vitamin K2, and beta carotene. It has a really higher proportion of healthy, unsaturated fats and CLA.
@@FoodHow Well there's more to consider for me; butter on toast or sandwiches makes me quite nauseous and a couple of times i've puked from the taste, the smell and the effeect it has on my stomach. On the other hand I have no reactions or negatives (in terms of my bodily reactions) from margarine which I enjoy on my toast with Vegemite.
@@alanwilliams2284 Ah. Vegemite. We found the issue 😂😂
@@alanwilliams2284 Can you enjoy your peanut butter&strawberries jam with lard spread on sandwiches?

I was very scared to learn how margarine is made and the harm it brings to health. Starting today, I remove margarine from my diet. Thanks for sharing this video.
Well done. It should actually be illegal to make margarine - seriously.
Good decision!
Is it like an American thing to use margarine a lot? Cos I'm from the UK and we have margarine but only use it for baking occasionally and even then I just use butter cos I never buy margarine.
Dear, you will be surprised, but "margarine " just in all long shellf "food " an all fast food.
Lupack is "spreadable " because 20% of vegetable oils (can be anything! From cotton seeds till sunflower).
All Nestlé, all yummy "food" for the kids- had a lot of this crap😢
I do not eat margarine much, i love and eat butter. Is margarine really healthy oil?
I honestly thought people stopped eating margarine years ago..
People still eat lot of Margarine. I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! All that, you know...
Try pure English butter I know its a lot more expensive but your worth it plus u never ever get heart burn with butter
Yes, I do agree completely.
well explained, thank you for helpful information
can i use it if i am on diet ? Thank you for sharing
You should never use any margarine. Ever.
@@vagabondxbbe yeahh it has veg oils and it tastes nice
Why would you ? Butter is more expensive.... but otherwise ?
0.42 "And there are several other unnatural sounding terms" yeah that about sums up op-s position, which is "I don't understand the lingo therefore it must be bad".
Nah, there is nothing wrong with margarine from health perspective, it's no better or worse than butter and you don't eat enough of it to matter even if there was. Only real reason to prefer one or the other is taste which is entirely subjective.
Thank you for the useful information and great explanation. I appreciate all the feedback.
bull cookies. modern factories don`t produce margarine with 2% trans fats. Dairy butter contains > 3% trans fat naturally, so without any difficult processing, its a natural (unhealthy) ingredient. The fat in margarine is only mildly processed. The factories mainly use natural emulsifiers and in Europe no preservatives are added. so margarines is quite healthy, they contain healthy fatty acids and in most cases fat soluble vitamins.
Wow it's really great and very good info on How Is Margarine Made
I benefited a lot from this explanation
I'm not gonna say that margarine is the healthiest thing in the world but lots of what you say is wrong.
1. Vitamins are ineffective for people who don't get them from what they eat, that's why they're adding it back to the margarine (whereas people would previously get them from butter), there's nothing that distinguishes a synthethic vitamin that another that's non-synthethic.
2. If the vegetable oil comes from a GMO or doesn't, won't have any effect on the quality of the oil produced. The oil is extracted and cleaned from any potential impurities or things that shouldn't be there (in the improbable eventuality that the specific mutation would create any sort of problem on the plant).
I just wanted to know how fat hydrogenation is done...
Good luck!!!🙏
Is this organic Margarine Made?
Thanks for the information but there’s also a lot of misinformation. I’ve made margarine at home with just coconut oil, olive oil and ice. And it’s not like bought store butter doesn’t contain additives
Yes, I have found some good home made margarine recipes with coconut oil that I am going to try out myself. I will make a video about it soon.
This video doesn't contain misinformation but rather a lack of information according to your comment. Sure you can make margarine with coconut/olive oil that isn't nearly as processed as store bought. However this video was teaching us about mass produced margarine one would buy from a grocery store. You can't call this video misinformation because it does not explain how you can make less processed margarinen at home (because who would bother making homemade margarine? I understand why people use margarine. I can't figure out what emulsified coconut coconut olive oil could actually be good for besides frying)
I did made some at home and was surprisingly easy, but still, can't beat the butter :)
In Canada hydrogenated/ and partially hydrogenated oils have been banned from entering the food supply chain.
That is a good news indeed.
Canola too ?
@@anarita6355 Canadian labelling laws makes it mandatory for any hydrogenation or modification of any fats be indicated as such on the label. Read the label..".modified or partially hydrogenated" would be shown for any modified ingredient ( Palm oils, etc)
bleach has zero calories and no fat. Can I use this instead?
Leave the chemicals and use something natural instead. Try grass feed butter or check out some great ways to make healthy margarine. I have left the link in the first comment.
This is interesting like somebody asked already is there something to replace margarine?
Butter
Hahahahaha
"You can't make margarine at home"
UA-cam: hold my beer
she meant the hydrogenation process but yeah
Nile Red: hold on while I make beer. And then I'll make margarine! 🤣
Wait. He already made and ate his own margarine in his Chem lab 🤣

This was very informative and helpful for me to understand the makeup of margarine. I really appreciate this posting!
Glad it was helpful!
Seed oils are perfectly fine cold pressed and as finishing oils..
I have EV canola oil with EV olive oil on food and feel great..
Real margarine is made with lard, EV coconut oil, cold pressed oils, free range yolks and raw milk.
Yes, that is the margarine you want to buy instead, made with, EV coconut oil, cold-pressed oils, free-range yolks, and raw milk, or you can even make it yourself.
Seed oils are full of lincon acid even cold. It should be avoided at all costs. Consume real animal fat like butter.
I do agree 100%
i had no idea about these things related to Margarine , thanks for the info
Dont believe everything
@@bellablue1347 yea I looked up about 10 different margarine company’s nutrition facts and none had trans fat. This video is a bunch of lies.
@@leahgross8952 Remember, FDA allows every food companies CAN WROTE 0G TRANS FAT ON THEIR PRODUCT'S NUTRITION BOX!
Coconut oil and palm oil(most used to make margarine) is most HYDRONATED, this process will PRODUCE TRANS FAT INSIDE THE OIL. Remember that, before blaming truth videos you must study about that first.
@@vietocschos6389 cool but from what margarine I’ve used most definitely didn’t have coconut and I always check for trans fat. I’m sure there are some out there but I’ve personally never seen
Leah Gross Yeah, most of them still hydronated even if they are not coconut or palm oil.
one question why labels say it have vitamins?
Vitamins are often added to make it more appealing for consumers.
Is low fat lard safe to use??..
Low-fat lard? Not sure what they have done to it to make it low-fat. Full fat is certainly safe.
Is margarine better for the body?
Nooooo
Thanks, I have a question, please, can I use butter in baking, instead of margarine???
Butter is the original and best thing for baking
Of course. Why wouldn't you?
Butter is the OG ingredient for baking. Margarine is just the cheaper alternative and doesn't taste as good as butter baked anything.
While I agree with you on most things and refuse to eat margerine, the gmo found in corn doesn’t make sence to me isn’t corn itself the gmo since corn is the organism
yes, but it's called GMO corn just as some other things are called this way, G-genetically M-modified O-organism
means it's genetic code has been artificially altered (by methods other than breeding the best ones together) to produce more of tastier and better stuff
but i agree it would make more sense to call it GM corn
Thanks for this video
your video was the only thing that made my brother stop eating butter thank you so much for helping god bless
You mean margarine?
But I can digest margarine better than butter. When I cook or fry foods with margarine then I don't get any stomach problem like gas or constipation as I get from other oil or butter.
Some people may have difficulty digesting butter due to a lack of the enzyme lactase, which is responsible for breaking down the lactose found in dairy products. Lactose intolerance is a common digestive disorder that affects the ability to digest lactose, a type of sugar found in milk and dairy products. People with lactose intolerance may experience symptoms such as bloating, gas, diarrhea, and abdominal pain after consuming dairy products that contain lactose. In some cases, these symptoms can be relieved by taking lactase supplements or by consuming dairy products that have been treated to remove the lactose. Other people may have a cow's milk protein allergy, which can cause an immune system reaction when dairy products are consumed. This can lead to digestive symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
butter though good tasting is still a animal product. milk is from cows to the calf.
Thanks for your comment. When it comes to health, butter is a natural product rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins. It has been part of human diets for centuries and is proven to be a healthier fat compared to the fats found in many margarines. Additionally, dairy farming has a lower environmental impact compared to the industrial processes associated with margarine production. Therefore, for those focusing on health and environmental sustainability, butter is a strong choice
so why it has health and Standard logo in my country?
In most countries, the most unhealthy foods are labeled as healthy.
Cap i used butter on some baked fries and it made my heart heart never happens when I use margarine, plus Marg. has less calories way less.
Oh no! I guess you are better off with the margarine then.
that's not really much evidence, it could have been anything else
but i mean be sure to use what works for you
Thanks very much, I have a question, please, can I use butter in baking, instead of margarine???
Not only can you, you should
Use butter for everything x
Great, thanks for sharing this
All of these points are very true, and most of them I already knew. However, there is another reason to avoid margarine, and this can also lead to health complications. But this is one that you missed, and probably should have included. Margarine manufacturers use three different chemicals, which are found naturally in butter and trace amounts. These chemicals are. diacetyl, acetoin, and acetylpropionol, all of which are found naturally as a result of the anaerobic fermentation of bacteria. As a result of that, these compounds are what give butter and some cheese as their unique odor. It also contains a small amount of a fatty acid called butyric acid, which is a fourth compound that is responsible for its flavor. That fourth compound is missing in margarine, but the other three that I mentioned are very concerning in high concentrations, which is guaranteed in a stick of margarine. When heated and inhaled, diacetyl in particular is known for causing airway complications. It’s one reason why I avoid the so-called popcorn butter found in theaters. It’s a wonder that the people working those snack bars don’t have breathing problems. And the ironic thing is that this problem usually affects healthy, non-smoking men. Women rarely suffer the condition. But it does happen.
Very good information, thank you for posting. I should make an updated video soon. Thank You.
@@FoodHow as a blind person, I can smell the difference between real butter and margarine. The difference to me is very apparent as margarine becomes, melted and heated up. It has a smell resembling butter, but it has an underlying off smell to it. that is difficult to explain with words. But the odor is redolent of melted plastics. The breathing problems associated with the artificial butter flavoring were discovered back in 1987 when workers at a baking company in Missouri became sick due to unprotected exposure to the butter flavor. That information was covered up. In 1993, a German manufacturer of artificial butter flavoring, also made the same discovery when its own employees became sick due to exposure. And finally, in Jasper, Missouri, the same link was re-discovered when dozens of microwave, popcorn manufacture, workers became sick due to exposure to the butter flavoring. In real butter, these chemicals are found in very low concentrations, not enough to be of any significant health risk to breathing, at least, according to my local MD. But when the chemicals are produced on an industrial scale, and added to food products as an artificial flavoring, they’re used in much higher concentrations. In fact, in the Missouri case, the artificial butter flavoring that was normally supplied to the company had a diacetyl content of just 3%. That made it relatively harmless. But unbeknownst to the workers who makes the stuff, they had ended up with a vat of it that contained 10% diacetyl. If you look up the Eric peoples his story, he states it out quite clearly. And all the while, you hear his breath’s through an oxygen tank. The man who made the speech contracted, bronchiolitis obliterans, after being repeatedly exposed to the flavoring, chemicals at the popcorn plant. I always found reading about this very intriguing, because who would think that something that smells good could hurt you? And in nature, where it occurs, naturally, it typically won’t. But when we concentrate it, that’s when it becomes dangerous. It really was disconcerting to hear Eric Peeples make his speech, while hooked to oxygen, And occasionally coughing and clearing his throat. I last heard he was on a transplant list. But unfortunately, lung transplantation is another condition in which bronchiolitis obliterans can occur. So there’s always a chance of it resurfacing even after a successful transplant. So three things happen when you get exposed to diacetyl in high concentrations. You either die, end up on the transplant list, or simply end up, living your life, or rather, the remainder of it, with a lessened ability to breathe. I once heard about a 47 year old woman who was otherwise in great shape, but after reading, just two small bags of microwave, popcorn, a day, couldn’t even walk without getting out of breath. I also heard about another woman who had to sleep propped up all the time. And regarding the guy who won $7 million after suing a manufacturer of butter, flavored microwave, popcorn, he has to live with a 50% lung capacity. No telling if the guy is still alive.
@@FoodHow The video that I mentioned is found under the channel insider exclusive. There are actually two stories of people who worked at these popcorn plants who contracted the condition after being exposed to the flavoring chemicals. One man’s name is Jerry, Blalock, and the others name is Eric peoples. But walk into a movie theater, and the artificial butter smell is readily apparent. Walk into a place like auntie Anne’s pretzels, however, and there is a butter smell, and while it’s similar to the popcorn, butter, you smell in theaters, it’s actually the real thing. Anne Beiler, the Amish woman who founded the company, would never countenance using margarine in her pretzels.
Ok, thank you, great information, I will check it out.

@@Firelife3 in some places butter are more expensive, but it sure is tastier
I use to exclusively eat margarine as that was what my mom always bought. As an immigrant raising 4 kids, it was cheaper for her to buy the massive tub of margarine vs a small stick of butter
Same, as a kid we were eating it a lot also as it was so cheap.
Would be silly to think that buttet is all pure if they can go to such an extent to produce margarine ! It's relatively much more easy to do the same with butter.
I have actually made my own butter, it is quite simple, but to make my own margarine, I don't think I could make it at home as it probably needs some extensive processing. I could be wrong tho. If someone has a homemade margarine recipe then I would definatley try to make it myself.
Butter is basically concentrated dairy fat, and it does not really require extensive processing, but I know some companies are mixing butter with margarine to make it more spreadable.
Thank you for being honest!!
No problem!!
I am currently eating Margarine on toast and this opened my eyes a bit.
If you still wat to keep it plant-based, I got some homemade margarine recipes in the first comment.
Use butter in limited quantities and use cold pressed ground nut oil and cold pressed Mustard oil in your food preparation instead. Why bake or deep fry? Just saute or shallow fry lightly before boiling your ingredients on simmer till they are cooked. Do not over cook. Avoid regular consumption of baked food if there is no way to restrict the quantities of butter in those baking preparations.
Thanks for the tips! Well said.
RIGHT ON!
Thank You

Most margarine today is not made with hydrogenated vegetable oil. So I would say this video is mis information in this regard.
Drej3k all margarine is made with diesel fuel to extract the oil from it.. they have too much omega 6’s with inflame/ swells up your insides..
I have really enjoyed
Today's margarine mostly contains palm-oil(aka palm kernel fat) which is naturally kind of solid,but it is indeed not that healthy.however,butter that is widely available on the market is processed and contains trans fats too,and oils are also not that safe for many reasons(and first of all dishonesty from the producers about its purity),so,it is not like that there is a very much healthier alternative, unless one has access to natural non processed products.at least at a descent price

Thank you so much for putting all this information together. Dr. Ken Berry is right.
You are very welcome
You can make margarine at home. All you need is coconut oil, vegetable oil, milk, egg yolk, lemon juice and salt to taste. Vegan option is coconut oil, vegetable oil, almond milk or soy milk or any vegan milk, beta keratin (just a little carrot juice), lemon juice and salt to taste. I don't see where it's hard to make margarine at home much less having all kinds of chemicals.
Thanks for the tips! Sound interesting. Just wondering, I suppose coconut oil will go solid in cold temperatures, but how do you get vegetable oil to be solid and spreadable.
@@FoodHow Heat the coconut oil so it's a liquid. Add the vegetable oil. Wisk the two with the bowl on ice until it's a milky consistency. It'll be a little thick. Add the milk and the egg yolk or carrot juice. Mix. Add the lemon juice. Mix. Add the salt. Mix. Put it in a container. Refrigerator it until solid.

If it were true that your body "didn't recognize vegetables as food", or if the issue were merely that our bodies "found them challenging to process", then they would just pass through the body.
The real issues with butter are the same as the ones with butter except that butter has more calories per tablespoon.
I'm not saying margarine is great for you, but I am saying: you're naively assuming that natural is always better.

@@FoodHow
it's not so much a case of correct vs not correct as it is the way the information was conveyed that I took issue with.
primarily, you used the phrasing unnatural when speaking about margarine, and natural when speaking about butter.
while I don't think you were doing it on purpose, this phrasing can very easily manipulate your audience to have a bias towards a particular mindset of viewing margarine as dangerous because it is unnatural and butter as safe because it is natural (less unnatural than margarine really).
you also mentioned GMO's as being unnatural and that GMO crops are the primary sources of oil for margarine.
however, many things we take for granted as safe every day are unnatural: clothes, cupboards, beds, tea, pasteurized milk, electronics, musical instruments, houses, plumbing, etc.
my point is that how close something is to its state as found in nature is irrelevant to whether or not it is safe to eat, wear, use, etc. in the case of margarine it is primarily the trans fats that are the danger, not the margarine's highly processed state or plants of origin.
Ok, I take your point. I think I could have done a better job presenting the information. Thank you for your comment.
Interesting video about Margarine manufacturing process. Margarine is a blend of around 80% vegetable oil or animal fat and 20% water with added salt, flavorings, color and preservatives. Not the healthiest choice.
What do you think butter is?
@@gnaoneeow2551 mostly animal fat, no vegetable oils
According to this video How Is Margarine Made. I'm not used to using Margarine but thanks to this video. I can now learn how to use Margarine and how Margarine was made. This is pretty useful to me. Thanks.
0:07 lol they forgot to censor the reflection
well spotted :)
“As for butter versus margarine, I trust cows more than chemists.”
― Joan Dye Gussow
Yes, good point, thank you :)
I grew up where only butter was an option, as an adult now and with butter being $6.50 a pound I switched to a margarine but now I’m trying to switch back to butter but butter goes up every yr I’ve seen butter now as low as $8 a lb for a block of butter where a 4L margarine container is $3.49 sucks I just need to buy a cow
Very good video of how is margarine made !! Is margarine bad or good ? Thank you very much !!
I use pure English butter I never ever get heart burn simple 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 I love Manchester ❤️❤️❤️
I love pure English butter. :)
I always loved those, "it's not nice to fool with mother nature" commercials.
Like they knew their product was inferior to mother nature's, but they said it anyway in a commercial.
Yes, good point.
What you can't make Margarine at home? Doesn't everyone have a Processing Plant at home?
You can still make margarine substitutes at home. They are not quite like to store-bought margarine, for the reasons that you mentioned but still pretty good. Just check out the link in the first comment.
The mith about butter not being ok for people, can be easily destroyed.
Anyone can put a piece of butter in his mouth and find out that is melting.
Body temperature is exactly the same temperature as inside the mouth, so butter will melt.
Butter will melt and will going to be processed by gastric juices. No fat will be stuck inside veins or anywhere else inside the body because the body has the temperature to melt the butter, and if the butter is melted, then the fat which butter is made of, will be melted.
Same as the pork lard. Pork lard and pork fat were demonstrated as a major cure in lung issues like tuberculosis.
Very good points, thank you.
Would love if you ever shared a single study with anything. This cannot actually be trusted even though I agree with what they are saying. I take that back. They did source webmd. Thank goodness that it was the only source. The best trusted.
Most of it is common knowledge, but I get your point; after reading the comments, some people seem to think that margarine is Superfood, but these people would probably don't even care about the studies and still think whatever they want to believe.
I didn't realize that butter and margarine weren't the same until a few years ago. I realize now that margarine has a different taste than butter. But tastes way better.
Yes, completely different.
You think margarine tastes better than butter??
I certainly don't
they add zinc
Can butter be made with human breastmilk?
Interesting question, in theory, yes it should work.
I checked 11 different brands of margarine and none of them contained hydrogenated vegetable oil
It is good to hear that they have really started eliminating this horrible stuff. I also see it less and less.
Butter is so good, no wonder we ate it for thousands of years and it was a coveted foodstuff.
Yes, I do agree 100%
A better question>
*WHY* is margarine made?
Yes, indeed. That is a good question.
Helpful video
Glad to hear that
SO where did we get Olive Oil? It's been around a long long time! And it is good for you! (Note: Olive Oil has been manufactured for over 2,000 - 3,000 years!)
Also, have you ever melted real butter down? It is made with an oil base, sometimes known as "Gee." So calling margarine not the same as butter is absurd!
The olive oil you're likely referring to is indeed cold-pressed organic olive oil. Produced through a method that involves mechanically pressing olives without the application of heat and chemicals.
Also, ghee is pure butterfat without any milk solids, nothing to do with margarine and oil. I make it all the time as it is good for frying. If your butter was mixed with oil, then it is probably some type of butter spread, and I suggest not using it and throwing it away.
Is this real? Can I do this that way? Thank you for this video
corn powder, vagitabl oil,
Where's the FDA on this?
Yes, that is a good question, whit everting that is going on, where are they???
Just use butter for everything guys...
Yes, I do agree, you can easily substitute margarine with butter in any recipe.
Well too much fat is bad wether butter or margarine
Unless it is EV olive oil :)
this video was brought to you by the butter gang
Actually, I did try a homemade margarine recipe someone suggested in the comments, and I was very impressed.
Hydrogenation isn't used anymore
Yes, luckily not that much anymore.
"But it costs $10 Cents less per pound, so that beats everything else." - Average person's thinking. What I have observed about average people is that they base their entire lives around two considerations only:
1. Cost - must be as cheap as possible.
2. Convenience - must be handy and easy to use.
That it's. The vast, vast, vast majority of people would rather pay less if they can . Severe health consequences 10 or 20 years down the line don't matter to 99.8% of all people. Secondly, the vast majority of people have no self-control or self-restrain. If they are in the street and they have the choice of eating hydrogenated fat-loaded cookies or starving for the next 5 hours to get home and cook a healthy meal, 99.8% will eat the cookies. The prospect of not eatinf for another 5 hours(the horror You'll die!) and then having to actually work to make a healthy meal is too much for most people. The average person is *dumb and indolent* and want low cost and convenience above any other consideration.
Capitalism gives people what they want, not what they need. The food industry ust responds to the wants of most people.
Thank you for your comments; you have made some excellent points here. I have also noticed that healthy foods are way more expensive, and processed chemical-filled foods are super cheap and easy to get.
