Which is Healthier: Butter or Bread?

Which do you think is healthier: BUTTER or BREAD? It's not a trick question but the answer may surprise you. High fat or high carbs? Does it matter if the bread is whole grain or the butter is organic? What if it's a buttery spread?

is butter or bread more inflammatory?

Our patients who have been taught to avoid inflammatory foods will know the answer. Carbohydrates turn straight into sugar in the body which increases inflammation throughout your system. Processed fats (like fake buttery spreads) can also increase inflammation in the body. However real butter tends to have a limited inflammatory effect compared to bread which spikes blood sugar and inflammation. Organic butter is even better, but organic bread is still high in inflammatory carbs. Multiple studies have now confirmed that saturated fats like those found in butter are NOT related to heart disease, but sugars and processed grains are. Improve your health by limiting the bread.
