The butter is an unsaturated fat source, since it is composed of 80 % of fat, and it has a big caloric contribution.

Also, the butter is neither a food that scarcely brings proteins to the organism, nor carbohydrates, although it has in his composition vitamin A and D. It is necessary to point out that the butter possesses fat of animal origin, which usually comes from the milk or from the cream.

Another option that seems to push many consumers is that of replacing the butter with margarine, when in the fund, it is two very similar food. The margarine also contains high percentages of fat and brings slightly less of calories to the organism that the butter, but it is not also to throw rockets. It is possible that the only difference, theoretically, between one and other one is the origin of the fat: in the butter it is of animal origin and in the margarine it is of industrial origin.
