So I read that butter is healthier for frying than Canola, Sunflower and a host of other oils. Perhaps not the best, but at least cheaper than olive, coconut oil and the like.
I take my longevity seriously (at a price, of course) and acquired some Mooi RiverR, touted as salted choice butter (repeated in two other obscure languages). Pleasantly surprise by the mooi name as well. Almost pure plaas you could say, nè! So tweetalig as well. It contains on the packaging a list of ingredients indicating a 84% fat content of which 54 % is saturated.
Holy Horror!. But wait, relax:
There’s no question that foods high in saturated fat can be enjoyed as part of a healthy diet.
Coconut products, including unsweetened coconut flakes and coconut oil, grass-fed whole milk yogurt, and grass-fed meat are just some examples of highly nutritious foods concentrated in saturated fat that may positively affect health.
For example, reviews of research have shown that full fat dairy intake has a neutral or protective effect on heart disease risk, while coconut oil intake has been shown to boost HDL (good) cholesterol and may benefit weight loss (27Trusted Source, 28Trusted Source).

I wonder what the local cows say about this. Do they really market Mooi RiverR in those countries with the strange languages as well... and what does their locals think that means?
