Margarine isn't better for your heart than butter — it's worse, according to a new analysis of a 40-year-old study. For 50 years, health experts and organizations, including the American Heart Association, have urged people to replace butter and other saturated fats in their diets with vegetable oils to reduce the risk of heart disease. Millions of Americans responded by replacing butter with margarine made from omega-6 polyunsaturated vegetable oils found in corn and safflower oil.
Decades later, however, heart disease is still the leading cause of death in both American men and women, and a recent analysis of data collected from 1966 to 1973 indicates that replacing butter and other saturated fats with vegetable oils may have increased the risk of heart disease instead of reducing it.

I get it.
My generic Korean name would be Kim Lee-Park (funny if you get it)
So long as it is not hydrogenated I suspect it is OK.
The closer to natural the better IMHO.
Yes. Because it messes up your seasoning as you cook. You should add the salt to taste. With already salted butter you can end up with a too salty dish because of the additional sodium in it to what is required for the recipe.
Wow....bet you remember dinosaurs, too. :-)
I don’t get it.
But I prolly would if it was Kim Chi Park.
And then you would definitely be invited to Park it somewhere else.
That is Oleo.
Ah, yes...Nellie, my pet dinosaur. May she rest in peace.
Olive oil
Right. (I made a similar reply upthread to another poster)
Then there are the pure sucrose fans ~ they never seem to understand that the human liver is going to turn it into something useable like glucose and fructose ~ MY WORD WE'RE OUR OWN HONEY BEES!!!!!!
Currently I'm on a purely natural Mediterranean diet consisting of peanuts, extra virgin olive oil, jamon and bacon!
I think the chefs calling for unsalted butter do so because of the taste, and how it would affect the final product, rather than anything against using salt per se. I use unsalted because I prefer that but usually keep some salted butter in the freezer for the recipes that call for it.
lub’ dem franenfoods!
I eat processed food like everyone else, it is hard to avoid, but I try to stay as close to natural as I can.
I am cooking right now.
Kim, Lee and Park (various spellings/translations) make up about 45+% of the family names in South Korea
LOL if only that were true! As far as diet, I was given advice from Docs based on “research” but I figured out that most of the studies were conducted by a group of people wanting a certain outcome. I’ve had bad cholesteral all my life, and I found that flaxseed, exercise, avacados and nuts (the kind that grow on trees) help. I still am a red meat eater and I love cheese, eggs, bacon, etc., just try to balance things out.
To all.....There is no substitute for crisco in Snickerdoodles...unless you don’t really care about our beloved Snickerdoodles.
I call the dictator of North Korea Kim3, with him being the 3rd one
