Which type of butter is the best?

Butter, Butter, and yummy Butter....

It seemed to be a constant battle of which butter is best for my family. First, it was which had the best taste, then it was which was the lowest in fat, and finally which has no additives/preservatives / chemicals? To eliminate the chemicals, I could just resort to standard real butter, but it's just so fattening.

So in comparison, I have tried these popular brands of margarine and decided to eliminate them from my diet with reason: (items in question in blue)

	I can't believe it's not butter...The sound of it just makes your mouth water. But if you look at the ingredients in this yellow tub, you will see why it's best to avoid eating it. Mostly soybean oil and chemicals. And in my last post you saw what soybean oil really is... Ingredients:Water, liquid soybean oil, buttermilk, xanthan gum, soy lecithin, polysorbate 60, lactic acid, (potassium sorbate, calcium disodium edta) used to protect quality, natural and artificial flavors,
	Smart Balance. You'd think this one was the winner, but think again. The writing and and advertising all over the box fool you. Ingredients: Natural oil blend (palm fruit, soybean, fish, canola and olive oils), water, plant sterols, sorbitan esters of fatty acids, monoglycerides of vegetable fatty acids, natural and artificial flavors, TBHQ (to preserve freshness), potassium sorbate, lactic acid, soy lecithin, vitamins, calcium disodium EDTA.
	Country Crock. Looks good, tastes good. spreads soft and great with bread. But do you really know what you are eating? Ingredients: Vegetable oil blend of liquid soybean oil, partially hydrogenated soybean oil and hydrogenated cottonseed oil, water, whey, salt, vegetable mono- and diglycerides, soy lecithin, potassium sorbate, calcium disodium-preservative, citric acid, artificial flavor, vitamin A and beta carotene for color.
	Earth Balance. This one I thought would be the healthiest of them all, but I'm skeptical about the soybean oil in it and "natural flavor" what exactly does that even mean - plant derived from corn? Ingredients: natural oil blend (palm fruit, canola, soybean, flax and olive oils) filtered water, conains less than 2% of pure salt, natural flavor (plant derived from corn, no msg, no alcohol, no gluten), pea protein, sunflower lecithin, lactic acid (non-dairy), and naturally extracted annatto for color.
	Land O' Lakes Whipped Butter. Finally, a butter that is all natural, with awesome taste and low calories! This wins the list!!!!! Ingredients: Pasteurized Sweet Cream, Salt.
