Vegetable butter, also known as hydrogenated oil, is the product of hydrogenation catalysis of common vegetable oil at a certain temperature and pressure. It is made from vegetable oil such as soybean, water, salt and milk powder. Because it can not only prolong the shelf life, but also make cakes more crisp, and at the same time, it has a high melting point and can maintain a solid shape at room temperature, so it is widely used in food processing and baking fields.

The main components of plant fresh cream are plant fat (about 20%) and animal or plant protein with high nutritional value, while animal fresh cream (natural cream) is concentrated from milk fat extracted from fresh milk, and the main component is animal fat (accounting for more than 80%). Animal fresh cream contains high cholesterol and high calorific value. The main component of vegetable cream is trans fatty acid, which will produce low-density fat after eating, which will greatly increase the probability of heart disease, coronary heart disease and atherosclerosis. On the contrary, animal fat is natural fat, even if it contains trans fatty acids, it is natural, and the probability of causing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases is lower than that of artificial plant cream.

Because trans fatty acids not only increase "bad" cholesterol, namely low-density lipoprotein, but also decrease "good" cholesterol, namely high-density lipoprotein. Saturated fatty acids only increase "bad" cholesterol. The US Food and Drug Administration believes that trans fatty acids can increase people's risk of coronary heart disease. Therefore, they require that from 2006 1 month 1 day, the content of trans fatty acids must be indicated on food packaging, just like saturated fatty acids and cholesterol content, unless the trans fatty acid content is less than 0.5g..

safe

Natural cream is a kind of extract, which is partly made by fermentation and has a short shelf life. Vegetable butter is made from refined oil, with definite ingredients and long shelf life, but it is harmful to blood vessels. This is not the case, but now people find its harm. Plant cream is far more harmful than natural cream.

Possess harm

Scientists found that hydrogenated oil, because it is a "fake oil", can't be decomposed by the body, and can't be metabolized. Finally, it can only stay in the body and accumulate on the walls of cells or blood vessels, which may cause kidney calculi and other hazards.

Hydrogenated oil has four main hazards to health.

1, increase blood viscosity and cohesion, and promote thrombosis;

2. Improve low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (bad cholesterol), reduce high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (good cholesterol), and promote arteriosclerosis;

3. Increase the incidence of type 2 diabetes;

4, affect the normal growth and development of infants and adolescents, and may have a negative impact on the development of the central nervous system.
