Oil in butter
Butter is one of those foods you should eat in moderation because of what it contains. Vegetable oil is rumored to be one of the many things present in this product. It’s hard to say for sure if that’s true, but tests can potentially be done to highlight such a thing.
An experiment was once run in India which examined whether vanaspati – a vegetable shortening – was an ingredient in ghee – clarified butter. The latter was melted and combined with concentrated hydrochloric acid and some cane sugar. After being shaken and left alone, the mixture turned crimson red, confirming the presence of vanaspati.
