For the sake of your health, butter truly is best. The first part of this
secret is to stop using butter spreads or anything that claims to be
butter that is not. The second part is to switch to organic, grass-fed
butter.
Both grass-fed and grain-fed butter are rich in healthy saturated
fat (two-thirds) and monounsaturated fat (one-third). Cows that
graze on organic pasture produce milk fat with equal parts omega
6 and omega 3. Conversely, grain-fed cows produce butter that
is heavy in omega 6. If you consume quite a bit of butter, the
difference matters. Too much omega-6 in the body has been linked
to inflammation.
Also, if you are consuming butter from an animal that has been
raised on organic pasture, it is free of chemicals. Most people will
find that grass-fed, organic butter tastes better than any other kind
of butter. If possible, locate a local farmer who makes their own
organic, grass-fed butter.
