from your explanation, saturated fats are better? hmm.gif

How did you infer that?

Trans fat is the absolute worst, shouldn't even be in your diet
Unsaturated fat is better than saturated fat, especially poly unsaturated (means more than one double bond per molecule)

That's why I don't drink milk nowadays.

Been so long since I last purchase HL milk.

During my papa time our family can still afford HL milk back in the 90s.

But when come to my time we can no longer afford the same lifestyle.

I failed as a sole bread winner to the family.

1 kg = 5.80 GBP = Rm32.30
https://eshop.tesco.com.my/groceries/en-GB/...ch?query=butter
Here 1 kg RM42.45

Even absolute prices already more expensive, let alone accounting for difference in income

Damnit, Lurpak so much difference. Around 50% difference.

but i tot margarine is healthier? hmm.gif

Nope. Margarine is nothing more than hydrogenated palm oil. It's artificial.
Real butter is real ... original cow fat. Priced around ~ RM9-15 per 250g pack.

The cheaper Buttercup and other cheap butters < RM8 are adulterated butter.
They contain a high proportion of soft margarine.

Real butter is the best, inc clarified butter i.e. (real) ghee. thumbsup.gif
Read the labels properly when purchasing butter/ghee to diffferentiate between original and artificial mix.

There is a butter crisis in France, as overseas buyers are willing to pay more, just like our durians

I rotate my milk brand, each brand has its own taste. Recently I like Summerfield for fresh milk.

you're making me confused

margarine has poly and mono saturated fat
butter has saturated fat

your explanation makes me think butter is better than margarine

TS, this.

Difficult to raise cattle in tropics.
Also I heard in countries that have four seasons, milk production falls during summer. (not sure, don't quote me on this)

U know that kundasang Sabah have cow milk? But I only see they sell in Sabah hypermarket.
