Margarine is a high-quality fat that is prepared on the basis of vegetable oils and animal fats, adding butter, sugar, salt and more. It is used for direct consumption, in confectionery, in the production of various pasta. It is a good source of fat. It contains vitamins E, A, PP and a number of trace elements (magnesium, iron, phosphorus, sodium, calcium), necessary for the normal functioning of the human body.
Harm and contraindications
Although tasty, margarine cannot replace butter in terms of taste. It contains trans fats, which as a result of complex physico-chemical processes in the body, increase the likelihood of cardiovascular disease. These fats increase blood cholesterol and lower immunity.
Margarine is a caloric product. Excessive use of chips, pastries, biscuits leads to obesity. This product is not recommended for people suffering from diabetes.
The intake of saturated fats, which are contained in margarine, predispose to diseases of the heart and blood vessels (atherosclerosis, strokes, heart attacks).
