There has been a lot of argument about which is healthier: butter, margarine, or oil. We have compiled a list of the healthiest of each one. We determined the level of healthiness by the types of fats that each has in it and how those fats affect people’s level of cholesterol.
We have listed them in order from the most healthy to the least healthy:
1) Canola oil
2) Sunflower oil
3) Corn oil
4) Olive oil
5) Palm oil
6) Butter
7) Coconut oil
8) Lard
9) Margarine
You notice we listed margarine the last, and therefore the least healthy. That is because most margarine contains trans fat.
We’ll talk more about the types fats later, but to put it simply: trans fat raises your “bad” cholesterol while lowering your “good” cholesterol.
