Remember when margarine was the hero and butter was the villain? And then they swapped? Turns out, margarine often contains trans fats (the truly nasty kind), while Lurpak butter has natural fats that your body is pretty good at handling.

Also, weirdly, eating full-fat dairy like butter might actually help you feel fuller longer. Meaning you’ll eat less of that dry cracker you’re spreading it on. It’s science—or at least, it’s my excuse for using a generous pat.
So, is Lurpak “good” for you? It’s better than processed junk, but it’s still butter. That means you should treat it like a treasured friend: enjoy it, but don’t let it move in and eat all your groceries.
What About Grass-Fed Glory?
Lurpak is made from milk from grass-fed cows in Denmark. That’s fancy cows eating fancy grass. Studies suggest grass-fed dairy has more omega-3 fatty acids and about five times more CLA (conjugated linoleic acid), which is a fat that might help your metabolism.
Does that mean you should eat a whole stick of Lurpak for breakfast? No. But it does mean that compared to generic margarine, Lurpak is basically a health food. (Okay, maybe a slightly gentrified health food.)
Also, Danish cows get better healthcare than I do, so there’s that.
