HUMAN NUTRITION

Detailed explanation-1: -Around 11% of the saturated fats in butter are short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), the most common of which is butyric acid ( 1 ).

Detailed explanation-2: -Butter is made from churned milk or cream, and the animal fats in it have higher levels of saturated and trans fats. These fats can lead to higher cholesterol, greater chance of heart disease, and lower levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol-the “good” cholesterol that unclogs arteries.

Detailed explanation-3: -There is no such thing as a completely saturated or a completely unsaturated fat; every fat is a combination of both saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Butter, beef suet, and tallow are about 50% saturated, but all other animal fats are more unsaturated than they are saturated.
