Real Butter for Health and Vitality

Ever since man started domesticating animals, butter has being prized for its health benefits as well as its great taste.

Unfortunately, during the 1950s, saturated fat and cholesterol in the diet were blamed for coronary heart disease (CHD) earning butter a bad reputation.

Ironically in the early 1900’s heart disease in the UK was rare when consumption of Butter and other saturated fats were much higher. It was only after people started using man-made margarine and low-fat foods that type II diabetes, obesity and consequently heart disease have became major health concerns.

Even to this day, the theory that saturated fats and cholesterol being to blame for heart disease has never been proven.

In many households margarine is used instead of butter. Margarines are made from refined polyunsaturated oils, through a process called hydrogenation. This unnatural process turns normally liquid oils into a spread and is potentially harmful to human health. However, raw, organic butter is a fantastic addition to a healthy diet providing essential fats and easy to absorb nutrients which boost energy and overall health.
