Today we’re going to compare butter and coconut oil to find out which is healthier. 

Butter vs. coconut oil:

Butter (grass-fed)
• Is good for cooking 
• Has fat-soluble vitamins (vitamins A, E, D, and K2)
• Has 8% MCT oil (medium-chain triglycerides) 
• Has small-chain fatty acid butyrate 
• Has traces of casein 

Coconut oil 
• Is good for cooking 
• Has zero fat-soluble vitamins
• Has 55% MCT oil (medium-chain triglycerides) 
• Has lauric acid 

Which is healthier, butter, or coconut oil? 
I’m going to say that butter is more healthy. But, when you use butter for cooking, you will destroy all of the fat-soluble vitamins—especially under high-heat. For cooking, you could use either butter or coconut oil. But, if you’re putting it on your food, butter may be the healthier option.
