13. Miyoko's is quite good (I'm not even vegan) but it is absolutely not "healthier" than butter.

Leaving aside for a moment butter not being unhealthy at all, in appropriate moderation of course – the Miyoko's sticks (they taste better because they're European-style, made with cultured cashew milk) are mostly coconut oil…which has a third MORE saturated fat than butter. It is cholesterol-free, but since dietary cholesterol has little to no impact on blood cholesterol, that's kind of a moot point.

As I said, it's a very good product, frankly just as good as real cultured butter IMNSHO, but given that it's not "healthier" nor less expensive, there's really no reason to use it if you aren't a vegan.
