Butter Is Better

Butter has gotten a bad rap for many years, starting in the last century with the rise of margarine.  Now we know that's a deadly trans fat. 



Why doesn’t churned cream raise blood fat levels? 


The researchers opined that although this traditional fat raises blood cholesterol in the long term, its short-term effects may actually be advantageous.

Not everyone agrees the advantage over olive, canola or vegetable oils is only a short term phenomenon. Sally Fallon of The Weston A. Price Foundation is a staunch and eloquent advocate of the benefits of butter and disagrees that it or cholesterol is a factor in the increase of cardiovascular disease.

The Vast Conspiracy Against Butter

Since the early 1920’s butter has been pushed aside in favor of margarine and other fad fats and vilified as a deadly saturated fat that causes heart disease. Yet for thousands of years before that, it was a dietary staple of many cultures with no evidence of adverse health effects.

Between 1920 and 1960, Americans’ use of butter declined from 18 pounds per person per year to 4 pounds, yet heart disease went from a relatively unknown condition to the number one killer. So how likely is it that this is what's killing us?

According to Fallon, butter is the victim of a vast fat-free conspiracy, formed by those who benefit from replacing healthy fats with disease promoting mass produced vegetable oils and trans fats.
