BONN, Germany (dpa) — Using margarine or butter is more than a question of taste.
It’s also a question of healthy eating.
People with high lipid blood levels should stick to margarine, according to the German Nutrition Association (DGE) in Bonn.
While many people might prefer the taste of butter, it’s also full of saturated fats.
Margarine is made of plant-based oils, meaning it’s composed of many more unsaturated fats than butter.
But the kind of fat isn’t the only factor in good nutrition, says the DGE. A lot depends on the amounts consumed ... more than 15 to 30 grams a day is not recommended.
To stay healthy, only lightly spread your bread with margarine or butter.
