Is butter good or bad for you?

Answer 1

It's a real myth that butter is bad for you. In small amounts it is fine. It is much better than margarine, which contains dozens of chemicals, trans fats and is naturally black, but they dye it yellow so it looks like butter.
Butter is a good source of short-chain fatty acids such as butyric acid. It also contains vitamin E.
It's one of the best things for cooking with because its saturated nature means it is much more stable than oils, and so the heat doesn't turn the molecules into nasty fats that damage your health.
I am a Dietary Educator, and recommend my clients eat butter in moderation, rather than any other type of spread.

Answer 2

Well it's fatty and can be a major cause of high cholesterol but with everything, in small doses , It's probably okay for you in a slight way because your body does need fats to survive and work efficiently.

Answer 3

Butter is only bad for you if you eat to much in moderation it is OK
