When you LOVE Butter..New Ketovangilist interview with Dr. Supports Saturated Fats!

https://www.ketovangelist.com/episode-34-dr-trudi-deakin-talks-about-the-importance-of-saturated-fat/

About the MIDDLE to the end this really gets good!! Since few clinical studies will create a SF only diet there has been some doubt ( expressed by Gary Taubes and others) on how good butter and animal fats are for us long term..

the Dr. really explains how bad veggie oils are for systemic inflammation and cardio disease.

Also: http://www.eatthebutter.org/news//why-butter
The Bulletproof Executive: The vitamins in butter protect against heart disease*, atherosclerosis, osteoporosis, and degenerative disease. Butter's secret ingredient is butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid that reduces inflammation*.


*YES!! the opposite of what my Urology NP insists is true about eating butter..she freaked over my LCHF diet. I wonder HOW MANY YEARS more before this is common knowledge among the medical professionals people who are supposed to protect our health??

    LOL, what if you don't actually like the taste of butter? I'd be really hooped.

    LOVE butter.

    My mum eats those supposed-to-be-good-for-you artificial butters eg flora etc. and I've had guests in my house recommend them to me over butter (concerned about my unhealthy diet, LOL). (a) it tastes like cr*p and (b) how can something so artificial be better for you than something that has two ingredients and not much processing.

    The real fight in the future will be to ensure the lovely cows have good lives, aren't pumped full of antibiotics and get outside to see the sun and eat grass.

    My son is a medical lab scientist and when he was in school he learned that only butter is good for you. Margarine is one molecule away from plastic, so he only eats butter :) Luckily we all LOVE butter...maybe a little too much!

    I've never eaten margarine, but I do love good olive oils and walnut oil.

    I saw this post the other day and went to nutrition data and found I can meet the DV of Vitamin A with butter. I just need to fit a cup of it into my diet. Not quite sure I could do this. What other vitamins are in butter which help toward goal of DV with vitamins?

    I've been listening to the audiobook of The Bulletproof Diet and though so much of his bio hacking is above my head and financial means and I don't plan to do all of the things that sound awesome and he suggests, there's so much detail offered about why something is done s certain way and exactly why he thinks it's a good thing. It's a lot to absorb and makes me want to buy the book so I can mark pages and stuff I want to remember.
    He mentions how he was first introduced to adding butter to a beverage. I can't remember where he was, but he was offered hot tea with yak butter blended in. He mentioned how the nomadic people would go through the extra effort of carrying a mixing device with them just for the purpose of blending the butter into this tea. He explains that the process of blending the butter has a specific purpose that releases something in the butter or changes it in some way that is not the same as simply stirring it in. I can't remember now what it was exactly. I'll have to listen to that part again on my drive to work.
    Anyway, I thought it was an interesting detail. He explains a lot about the nutrient benefits and butyrates specific advantages.
