Hidden Palm Oil in Butter: A Shocking Revelation

Concerns Rise Over Palm Oil in Budget Butter: A 2024 Russian study revealed that many popular butter brands contain less than 30% natural dairy fat, raising health concerns. The study, which analyzed 14 brands, found that palm oil, emulsifiers, and artificial flavorings were frequently used as substitutes. This practice is raising concerns about the potential health risks associated with consuming this type of butter, especially for children. 'The study highlights a worrying trend,' says Dr. Elena Petrova, a nutritionist. 'The high levels of palm oil and trans fats can increase the risk of heart disease.' The video accompanying this report shows the production process, further emphasizing the lack of natural dairy products. While the use of palm oil and other additives is legal, the study's findings are pushing for increased transparency and stricter regulations in the food industry. Consumers are encouraged to carefully check ingredient labels and opt for brands with higher natural dairy fat content.
