Is Butter or
Margarine Better?
In commercials and supermarkets across the
country, butter and margarine face off in an effort to win consumers. But
which is healthier for South Beach Dieters?
Butter and margarine differ
mainly in the kinds of fat they contain. Butter, made from animal fats, is
high in the bad, saturated fats not recommended for the South Beach Diet.
Margarine, made with vegetable oil, contains less saturated fat (mainly
polyunsaturated fat) and often has high amounts of trans fats.
While
it's okay to replace butter with margarine, you want to try to avoid those
types made with trans fats. Instead, look for margarine made with olive oil or
those labeled "trans fat free." Some good choices include Fleischman's Premium
Olive Oil Blend, Smart Balance, or Brummel & Brown. Also, choose margarine
spreads that come in a tub instead of a stick, as they contain less saturated
fat.
One last piece of advice: Use margarine in moderation. Both butter
and margarine are still very high-fat foods to be eaten with care.
