Butter nutrition specialist explains that contains vitamin A, D and protein
National passion, French bread is the official breakfast food of Brazilians. The difference lies in what it puts it: butter or margarine. This is where the discussion begins almost as fierce as the football crowd. Which one is healthier?
For too long, the butter was considered a villain because of the saturated fat. Today, it is known that fat, in small quantities, is not as evil as he is painted. "This fat is present in milk, yellow cheese, red meat. Sparingly in healthy people, it will not cause health problems. It is criminal to spend a little butter on bread, since the person is not with high cholesterol, "says nutrition specialist Roberto Navarro.
The moderation to the doctor refers are two tips knife - that "slushie" that occurs in butter - per day, or one teaspoon daily dessert. So, who is with the health day will benefit from the vitamins that butter provides.
On the other hand, has been criticized because margarine in its manufacturing process there is the hydrogenation of oil, which causes the notorious trans fat. "The vegetable oil has no way to turn folder, then the industry has discovered that when hydrogen plays in the oil, it is with that texture. This fat is very evil to health, much saturated fat does a lot more damage in the blood vessels, raises risk of heart attack and stroke clog the vessels, "explains Navarro.

But there is a caveat: theoretically a while now, the industry is no longer using hydrogenated trans fat. "She was withdrawn, but still do not know how. So, margarine is trans fat free, but we do not know if the process is reliable or not, "he explains.
Even Navarro adds, margarine can now lower cholesterol. There are brands that add phytosterol - found in some vegetables - which help control cholesterol. The recommended maximum intake of margarine is also the same for butter: one tablespoon per day.
Another issue that puts both butter and margarine on the wall is oxidation. Fats that oxidize in "rust" inside. "The whole process of oxidation has the potential to clog the blood vessels more," explains Navarro.
In this aspect, butter wins by having lower oxidation potential. Margarine is itself oxidized.
All is not lost. Is there a solution for those who want to leave once the fats, and even then, continue enjoying the warm loaf every morning. Just swap the two by the olive oil.
With the right recipe nutrition specialist. To prepare, is simple: just put 200 ml of olive oil in a blender, add a teaspoon of sea salt, half a clove of garlic and beat. Will form a briefcase, then just keep in the fridge and spread on bread, explains. "It's the fat that is more peaceful for health because it is a healthy oil and has omega 9," Navarro says.
The nutrólogo indicates use light cream cheese, light cream light ricotta and ricotta. "The light version is low in saturated fat, so it may be an alternative to butter and margarine," he explains.
But these are not just the benefits of these dairy products for health. Like bread, when ingested, is quickly turned into glucose and increases the amount of circulating blood sugar - may lead to diabetes or to the body storing fat - the protein in dairy products helps stop this peak glucose. This will cause the body has time to use glucose as energy and no stock in the form of extra flab.
Anyway, can you be healthy consuming butter and margarine. The choice is a taste of the customer. But if the idea is to be supersaudável, use olive oil.
