<p>When butter is used to cook, is the PUFA content oxidized? The PUFA percentage is small, but it's still a concern to me. Should I be concerned about heating it too much?</p> <p>I'm thinking that if the butter is grass-fed, there are sufficient antioxidants. I'd like to see some links to articles/studies on the topic.</p>

<p>The smoking point of Butter is 325ºF, i think above that temp. some oxidation may occur.</p> <p>Moral of the story, don't use Butter for High temp. Or prolonged cooking.</p>

<p>Butter is ok for low temperature cooking, use refined coconut for higher temperatures.</p>

<p>You can use ghee (which is made from butter) for high temperature cooking. You can also make ghee from butter, google can help you find instructions.</p>
