so let’s talk about what is better butter or

coconut oil now as far as cooking goes they’re both really good for cooking

okay so i use both of them let’s look at the

fat soluble vitamins butter has a good amount of vitamin a

e d and especially k2 if it’s from grass-fed cows so you’d

always want to consume butter from grass-fed cows kerrygold is a

really good type of butter but there’s many others

now vitamin a is vital for the immune system it’s good for the vision

it is the key vitamin for your eye vitamin e is essential for your heart

for the the pituitary gland it’s this is very important in menopause

and this is also really good to keep your muscles strong

if at any point that you feel like your muscles are weak especially when you’re

exercising you take vitamin e you’ll feel a difference pretty quick in

strength and endurance and then of course vitamin d that’s an

anti-inflammatory it’s essential for your immune system

it’s good for lowering blood pressure and the list

goes on and on and on and then k2 drives calcium out of the wrong

places it will kind of remove calcium from the soft tissues of the arteries

and the joints it also is involved in the strength of the mitochondria and it

can actually give you endurance when you exercise now let’s

talk about mct oil this is medium chain triglycerides

this turns right into ketones it gives you energy

okay so butter only has eight percent but coconut oil

has 55 so coconut oil is the winner on that level

and mct oil is really good for cognitive function quick energy and

especially if you’re just starting out with keto and you want

ketones really fast the mct fats will fill up in your blood and your brain

will prefer that over glucose coconut oil also has

something called lauric acid okay so that’s really good for your

immune system it doesn’t have a lot but it has some so

that’s another positive benefit now butter has small chain fatty acid

butyrate okay this is really good for your blood sugars

it’s food for your colon cells it’s also anti-cancer and as a side note

your microbiome your friendly bacteria takes fiber

from your vegetables and it converts it into butyrate

so in a cow they eat the grass goes into their digestive system

and the microbes then turn it into butyrate so it ends up

in the fat in the milk thus the small chain fatty acid

now there’s a very very small amount of casein that’s the protein

in butter not not too much it’s almost insignificant so if there is an

allergy that you have i don’t think you’ll have a reaction

but i just want to let you know it’s in there so maybe you want to do what’s

called clarified butter or ghee to have this removed

the question is which one is healthier well i’m going to go more for the butter

right here but when you’re using it for cooking

realize it’s going to destroy all these right here okay especially if there’s

high heat so if you’re cooking you could use

either one but if you’re putting it on your food

this one is healthier all right thanks for watching
