This, from the one who posted a while back about the benefits of vanila ice cream. I know your scoffing, a new actually old but recently discovered new super food, yep, you'd never guess it, butter!
from link below (yep LIM is trying to pull another fast one)
quote: Butyrate also occurs in significant amounts in food. What foods contain butyrate? Hmm, I wonder where the name BUTYR-ate came from? Butter perhaps? Butter is 3-4 percent butyrate, the richest known source. But everyone knows butter is bad for you, right?
Now, how do we use this new healthy food source, I believe the debate is on! Is toast enough, from my background, spritz cookies and swedish pancakes come to mind.
Nothing like a healthy dollup of butter on those good old spuds.
Maybe we all knew butter was good for us, but it was sooooo decadent it couldn't be. Now we can go to the dinner table and explain to all present, put as much butter on as you like.
Another source of butyrate -- kombucha

I will be honest, I know low fat is recommended, but I ate plenty of coconut oil, olive oil, and fresh, organic butter and tons of goat cheese and goat yogurt last time I was dealing with a relapse and I plan on doing it again. I felt great with those things in my diet and helped keep my weight up. Everything else I ate was berries, veggies, fish, chicken and whole grains (not wheat-lots of brown rice).

Lowfat is BS
Always will be
Most current nutritionists are clones
It is the unnatural chemical junk STORED IN THE FAT that is the real problem. Search www.mercola.com for recent info.

Yes I've read a lot of Mercola. I developed my eating plan based off quite alot of research and it worked well for me.

I have always thought butter was good for you and natural cheese too. I use butter, olive oil and coconut oil. This is my morning breakfast granola recipe: Melt 1/2 cup butter or coconut oil in large deep pan with 3/4 cup honey, 1 Tablespoon vanilla, 1 Tbl cinnamon and 1 ts salt (or to taste) mix in 6 cups of 7 grain cerial or rolled oats (old fashioned) 1 cup sunflower seeds 1 cup pumpkin seeds 2 cups almonds and/or walnuts 3/4 cup wheat germ ( unless you don't eat wheat) 3/4 cup ground flax seed
Spread in shallow baking sheet and bake in 350 degree oven turning every ten minutes until golden brown. Let cool and add 2-3 cups dried fruit such as raison, blueberries, chopped dried apples etc.
PS I also think honey is good for you!

Weston Price says it all! If you can get pasture raised butter (the cows), or even better - raw butter, it's great.
I get raw butter from a local farm. The taste takes a little getting used to (a little cheesy) but the color alone with pull you in!

Someday Nana we'll find the foods we stopped eating ended up being part of the problem. I think the push for dairy being bad might be blown out of proportion. Ok, milk by itself might be bad, but if you can tolerate butter or cheese, yogurt, or milk based kefir maybe there important to our diet.
I thought it was interesting to find butter is a food with the single highest amount of butyrate. And butyrate is what helps probiotics adhere to the gut wall. We might be throwing lots of money away by not paying attention to foods that help support the process of healing.
I love cheese, especially cheddar, I started to add it back into my menu. It seems to agree with me again. Along with the yogurt I eat as well.

Best butter for me is ghee butter. You can cook with it, it doesn't 'change' with heat, it gives a great taste to food, help us eliminate toxins (by probably binding to toxins).
I never bought the story that plastic food (margarine) could be better than butter. Our consumption of butter has always been high. There are many vitamins in butter too, that are hard to find elsewhere.

yeah I will never give up my butter, cheese and yogurt. I'm totally down with limiting gluten as much as possible and saying goodbye to fried foods and whatnot, but as long as I am eating organic and ususally mainly goat or sheep milk products I have no problems. I drink Rice Milk when i want a milk beverage and coconut milk.
