For example, I came across the following article titled Hack Your Health: 6 Biohacks That Might Surprise You. Let's start with the first health hack which is bizarrely enough 1. Butter for breakfast:
"We’re not talking about butter on toast or a bagel either. We’re talking about, wait for it… putting butter in a cup of coffee."Does that sound healthy to you? Butter is made from animal fat, so it contains cholesterol and high levels of saturated fat (Mayo Clinic), which is bad for your heart i.e. it will raise your level of "bad cholesterol" (LDL). To the contrary, doctors recommend limiting your intake of butter, which in addition to the cholesterol and saturated fat also contains a lot of calories.
Incidentally, margarine may not be much better. Dr. David Katz weighs in on the butter versus margarine debate pointing out that while margarine does not have saturated fat, many types of margarine contain trans-fat which is just as bad or worse as saturated fat in terms of raising LDL (and also lowering the "good cholesterol" HDL). Instead he recommends trans-fat free margarine spreads that contain vegetable oils (monounsaturated fats).
TL;DR do not add butter to your coffee.
Figure 1. This is not healthy for you and please do not put butter in your coffee.
