In the 26-plus years I have been in the health and fitness industry, I am astonished that many people think that if a food or meal is healthy, it can't also be delicious. This is possibly a remaining artifact in the collective subconscious of a failed rice-cake diet of 1986. In any event, food should taste good. And food should be enjoyed while being simultaneously healthy.

Do you like the taste of butter?

For many people, the answer is a profound yes, absolutely or who doesn't? And I agree. However, for many people, it's followed by a sense that butter is not healthy. While there has been extensive debate regarding the healthfulness of butter over the years (for the record, I do not believe butter is a bad fat.) I'm not suggesting it's as healthy as olive oil but used occasionally, could be part of a healthy diet.

Now, wouldn't it be great if there existed a butter that tastes like butter but was indeed as healthy as olive oil? Or better yet, even healthier than olive oil while retaining a great buttery taste?

Good News.

It does exist. It's called Liquid Gold Macadamia Nut Oil. And while the omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acid ratio is better than olive oil, which is good for heart and brain health, the taste is undeniably richer than olive oil.

I use mac oil to cook: veggies, fish, pork and beef. I even spay it on the grill before I cook chicken to make it non stick. Lastly, I love to spray the pan before I make eggs. Non-stick and healthy!

You might think that you're cooking with butter - but this is healthy for sure!
